NOTE: Excludes enrollments for schools for which no data on AYP were available. AYP is an individual state's measure of yearly progress toward achieving state academic standards based on criteria contained in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) statute. AYP is the minimum level of improvement that public schools must attain each year and is based on spring accountability testing and prior performance. Data are derived from the 96 percent of schools that reported on AYP. Also, excludes schools for which enrollment data by race/ethnicity and sex were not available. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
