1
Includes most kindergarten and some nursery school enrollment.
2 Private
school numbers are estimated on the basis of past data.
3 Private
school numbers are from the Private School Universe Survey.
4 Private
school numbers are interpolated.
NOTE: Some data have been revised from previously published
figures. For private schools, it was assumed that numbers
for elementary are the same as those in
table 1 for grades K-8, and numbers for secondary are the
same as those in table 1 for grades 9-12. Designation of
grades as elementary or secondary varies from
school to school. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding. Mean
absolute percentage errors of selected education statistics
can be found in table A2.

Secondary Schools; Common Core of Data surveys; Private
