| 3 For 2008-09 and 2009-10, data on children of Two or more races were reported by only a small number of states. Therefore, these data are not comparable to figures for later years. | |||||||||
| 4 For 2011-12 and later years, the total column shows the overall counts of children as reported by the 50 states and the District of Columbia rather than the sum of counts reported for individual racial/ethnic groups. (Due to data limitations, summing the data for the racial/ethnic groups can result in overcounts. For 2016-17, summing these data would result in a total overcount of 35 children in the 3- to 5-year-old age group and 623 children in the 6- to 21-year-old age group. For 2017-18, summing these data would result in a total overcount of 13 children in the 3- to 5-year-old age group and 629 children in the 6- to 21-year-old age group.) | |||||||||

| NOTE: Data include only those children served for whom race/ethnicity was reported. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | |||||||||
