# Rounds to zero.

1 Because the data reflect reports by schools, totals differ from those in tables based on reports by states or school districts. Percentage distribution and average enrollment calculations exclude data for schools not reporting enrollment.

2 Includes elementary, secondary, combined elementary/secondary, and other schools.

3 Includes schools beginning with grade 6 or below and with no grade higher than 8.

4 Includes schools with no grade lower than 7.

5 Includes schools beginning with grade 6 or below and ending with grade 9 or above.

6 Includes special education, alternative, and other schools not reported by grade span.

7 Excludes special education schools, vocational schools, and alternative schools.

8 Data are for schools reporting enrollments greater than zero. Enrollments greater than zero were reported for 95,230 out of 98,176 schools in 2014-15, 95,240 out of 98,277 in 2015-16, and 95,283 out of 98,158 in 2016-17.

NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
