^{- Data are missing. 1}Migrant students include those who were enrolled at any time during the previous (1998-1999) regular school year. They are reported for each school in which they enroll; because this is a duplicated count, the table does not show migrants as a percentage of all students. Hawaii did not have a migrant education program in 1998-1999. ² American Samoa, Northern Marianas, and Puerto Rico did not report students eligible for reduced-price meals. See technical notes. ³ Michigan and New Jersey report an undercount of students with IEPs. NOTE: Percentages are based on schools and agencies reporting. Percentages are rounded to the nearest tenth and may not add to 100. Percentages of less than 0.05 are rounded to 0.0. U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
