! Interpret data with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is 30 percent or greater.

‡ Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases or the coefficient of variation (CV) is 50 percent or greater.

1 Includes basic, business, consumer, functional, or general mathematics.

2 Includes algebra IA and IB.

3 Includes courses such as algebra II, trigonometry, integrated mathematics, statistics or probability, analytic geometry, precalculus, and calculus.

NOTE: Information on 9th-grade mathematics coursetaking was based on student report. Students could report enrollment in more than one mathematics course. Students could also report enrollment in an "other math course," but this response category is not presented in the table. Data weighted by W1STUDENT. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
