NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. 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. Projections in this table were calculated prior to the coronavirus pandemic and therefore do not take into account the actual or potential impacts of the pandemic. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | |||||||||||||||||||
