1 Postsecondary transcripts from 2013 were used to update self-reported attainment of highest degree for all respondents with complete transcripts as well as for respondents whose partial transcripts indicated higher attainment than was self-reported in 2012. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 Socioeconomic status (SES) was measured by a composite score on parental education and occupations, and family income in 2002. The "low" SES group is the lowest quartile; the "middle" SES group is the middle two quartiles; and the "high" SES group is the upper quartile. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 Reading and math achievement quartiles reflect students' scores on assessments conducted in 2002. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
NOTE: Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and survey item nonresponse. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
