†Not applicable.

1 Data on students of Two or more races were not reported by all states; therefore, the data are not comparable to figures for 2010-11 and later years.

2 Projected.

NOTE: Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Prior to 2007-08, data on students of Two or more races were not collected separately. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and statistical methods used to prevent the identification of individual students.
