‡ Reporting standards not met.
¹ Number of Title I-eligible schools includes those with and without schoolwide Title I programs.
² New Jersey did not meet the reporting standard for magnet school status. A total is shown for "reporting states" if data for any item in the table were missing for some, but not more than 15 percent, of all schools in the United States.
