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 95,364 out of 98,469 schools in 2019-20, 95,057 out of 98,577 schools in 2020-21, and 95,839 out of 99,239 schools in 2021-22. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. | ||||||||||||||
