| 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2In the total for any avoidance, students who reported both avoiding one or more places in school and avoiding school activities or classes were counted only once. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3Students who reported avoiding multiple places in school were counted only once in the total for students avoiding one or more places. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4Race 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 5Excludes students with missing information about the school characteristic. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 6Data 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7Students who reported more than one type of avoidance of school activities or classes (e.g., reported that they avoided "any activities" and also reported that they stayed home from school) were counted only once in the total for avoiding activities or classes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8Before 2007, students were asked whether they avoided "any extracurricular activities." Starting in 2007, the survey wording was changed to "any activities." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. Students were asked whether they avoided places or activities because they thought that someone might attack or harm them. For the 2001 survey only, the wording was changed from "attack or harm" to "attack or threaten to attack." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
