\1\Only includes kindergarten students who attend schools that offer first grade or above.
\2\Too few sample cases (fewer than 30 schools) for reliable estimates.
---Data not applicable.

NOTE.--Data are based upon a sample survey and may not be strictly comparable with data reported elsewhere. Elementary schools have grade 6 or lower and no grade higher than 8. Secondary schools have no grade lower than 7. Combined schools have grades lower than 7 and higher than 8. Excludes prekindergarten students. Because of rounding and missing values in cells with too few sample cases, details may not add to totals.
