! Interpret data with caution. Estimate is unstable because the standard error is between 30 and 50 percent of the estimate.
‡ Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate or the standard error is greater than 50 percent of the estimate.
¹Students who attended an out-of-state institution may be charged in-state tuition and fees due to state reciprocity agreements. Students who attended an in-state institution may be charged out-of-state tuition due to variations in the definition of residency for tuition purposes. Private institutions generally do not charge differential tuition based on residency; however on occasion, certain private schools or programs can charge differential tuition based on residency.
²Black includes African American, Hispanic includes Latino, and Other includes American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, other Pacific Islander, and individuals who indicated Two or more races or Other. All race categories exclude Hispanic or Latino origin.
³This variable indicates if a student had a serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions; had been told by a health or education professional that he/she had ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) or ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder); had a learning disability; was deaf or had a serious difficulty hearing; was blind or had a serious difficulty seeing; or had any other disability or special need.
⁴Includes public less-than-2-year, private nonprofit 2-year, and private nonprofit less-than-2-year institutions.
⁵Base-year (2009) public school and student samples are state representative for a subset of 10 states listed in the table. Students attending public schools in all other states are included in the "National (public schools only)" category.
NOTE: The first primary institution is generally the institution in which a student first enrolled at the postsecondary level, according to enrollment data in both transcripts and student records. For students who enrolled at one institution during the summer immediately after high school and enrolled at another institution during the fall, their first primary institution is the institution with the fall enrollment. Academic years are defined as running from July 1 through June 30. The first academic year is generally the earliest academic year in which a student was enrolled at his or her first primary institution. For students who first enrolled in a postsecondary institution in the last 2 months of an academic year and then enrolled the following fall, their first academic year is the academic year of the fall enrollment. The academic year in which fall 2009 ninth-graders first enrolled in postsecondary education after high school varies, ranging from 2011–12 to 2016–17.
