NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Because the data reflect reports by schools, totals differ from those in tables based on reports by states or school districts. Percentage distribution calculations include data only for schools reporting enrollments greater than zero. Enrollments greater than zero were reported for 95,240 out of 98,469 schools in 2017-18; 95,432 out of 98,755 schools in 2018-19; and 95,364 out of 98,469 schools in 2019-20. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
