1Data for California for 1989-90 and earlier years are not strictly comparable with those for other states because California's attendance figures included excused absences.
2Excludes average daily attendance for regional occupational programs and summer school programs that were reported in prior years.
NOTE: Caution should be used when comparing 2019-20 and 2020-21 to prior years due to the impact that the coronavirus pandemic had on district reporting of average daily attendance. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
