1 Includes students reported as being enrolled in grade 13.

2 The prekindergarten, elementary total, and "all grades" counts include imputations for prekindergarten enrollment in California and Oregon.

3 The prekindergarten, elementary total, and "all grades" counts include imputations for prekindergarten enrollment in California.

NOTE: Due to changes in reporting and imputation practices, prekindergarten enrollment for years prior to 1992 represent an undercount compared to later years. The total ungraded counts of students were prorated to the elementary and secondary levels based on prior reports. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
