#Rounds to zero.

‡Reporting standards not met (see data file documentation at https://www2.ed.gov/about/inits/ed/edfacts/data-files/school-status-data.html.)

¹ The counts by primary nighttime residence may not sum to the total number of homeless students because of missing or suppressed data on primary nighttime residence.

² Represents the sum of counts by grade.

³ Refers to temporarily sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or other reasons (such as domestic violence).

⁴ Includes living in cars, parks, campgrounds, temporary trailers--including Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) trailers--or abandoned buildings.

⁵ Youth who are not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian. Includes youth living on their own and youth living with a caregiver who is not their legal guardian.

⁶ Students who met the definition of limited English proficient students as outlined in the EDFacts workbook. For more information, see https://www2.ed.gov/about/inits/ed/edfacts/eden-workbook.html.

⁷ Students who met the definition of eligible migrant children as outlined in the EDFacts workbook. Such students are either migratory workers or the children or spouses of migratory workers and have moved within the preceding 36 months in order to obtain, or to accompany parents or spouses who moved in order to obtain, temporary or seasonal employment in agricultural or fishing work. For more information, see https://www2.ed.gov/about/inits/ed/edfacts/eden-workbook.html.

⁸ Includes only students with disabilities who were served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

⁹ The District of Columbia did not operate a migrant education program during the 2015-16 school year and therefore had no data to provide on migrant homeless students.

NOTE: Homeless students are defined as children/youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. For more information, see "C118 - Homeless Students Enrolled" at https://www2.ed.gov/about/inits/ed/edfacts/sy-15-16-nonxml.html. Data include all homeless students enrolled at any time during the school year. ISD = independent school district.
