| 1 Results are for private schools overall, including Catholic and other (non-Catholic) private schools. In the 2017 NAEP Nations Report Card, results for private schools overall and for non-Catholic private schools were suppressed because these schools did not meet NAEP statistical and reporting standards requiring a school response rate of at least 70 percent. Response rates for private schools overall were 61 percent at grade 4 and 60 percent at grade 8. (Within the private school sector, response rates for Catholic schools were 89 percent at grade 4 and 86 percent at grade 8, while response rates for non-Catholic private schools were 41 percent at grade 4 and 39 percent at grade 8.) Please interpret these data with caution. | ||||||||||||||||

| 3 The student with disability (SD) variable used in this table includes students who have a 504 plan, even if they do not have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). | ||||||||||||||||
| NOTE: Includes students tested with accommodations (12 percent of all 4th-graders and 12 percent of all 8th-graders); excludes only those students with disabilities and English language learners who were unable to be tested even with accommodations (2 percent of all students at both grades). Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | ||||||||||||||||
