| 1In 2005 and prior years, the period covered by the survey question was "during the last 6 months," but this was changed to "during this school year" beginning in 2007. Cognitive testing suggested that modifications to the reference period would not have a substantial impact on the survey responses. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Prior to 2003, separate data for Asian students, Pacific Islander students, and students of Two or more races were not collected. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3Excludes students with missing information about the school characteristic. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4Data for 2013 and prior years were based on school information provided by the respondent. Beginning in 2015, data were based on school information collected in the Common Core of Data and the Private School Universe Survey, which was appended to the School Crime Supplement data file; therefore, these data may not be entirely comparable with figures for earlier years. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5Includes students who reported seeing any hate-related words or symbols written in school classrooms, in school bathrooms, in school hallways, or on the outside of their school building during the school year. In 2022, about 4 percent of students also reported seeing any hate-related words, pictures, videos, or symbols posted on school-sponsored websites or applications. For comparability over time, these students are not included in this table. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NOTE: Excludes students who received any homeschooling education during the school year. In 2022, also excludes students who only attended virtual public or private schools. "At school" includes in the school building, on school property, on a school bus, and, from 2001 onward, going to and from school. For 2022 only, "at school" for students who received online schooling or virtual learning for some time during the school year also includes virtual classes. "Hate-related" refers to derogatory terms used by others in reference to students' personal characteristics. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
