---Not available.
†Not applicable.
¹Data on students of Two or more races were not reported by all states; therefore, the data are not comparable to figures for 2010-11 and later years.
²Includes students whose race/ethnicity was not reported in the data.
³Estimated based on actual data in 2012-13 and 2018-19.
⁴Number of high school graduates is projected by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
NOTE: Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Prior to 2007-08, data on students of Two or more races were not collected separately. Projections in this table were calculated after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic and take into account the expected impacts of the pandemic. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and statistical methods used to prevent the identification of individual students.
