¹DoDEA = Department of Defense Education Activity. Includes both domestic and overseas schools.
NOTE: The total counts of ungraded students and those whose grade was not specified were prorated into either the prekindergarten through grade 8 level or the grades 9 through 12 level based on the known grade-level distribution of a state. In addition to students in grades 9 through 12 and ungraded students, this table includes a small number of students reported as being enrolled in grade 13. Projections in this table were calculated after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic and take into account the expected impacts of the pandemic. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
