NOTE: DoD = Department of Defense. The total ungraded counts of students were prorated to the elementary level (prekindergarten through grade 8) and the secondary level (grades 9 through 12) based on prior reports. In addition to students in grades 9 through 12 and ungraded secondary students, this table includes a small number of students reported as being enrolled in grade 13. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | |||||||||||||||||||||
