! 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 because the standard error is greater than 50 percent of the estimate or because there were too few cases for a reliable estimate.
1Black includes African American; Hispanic includes Latino; and Two or more races includes persons having origins in one or more race. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
NOTE: Estimates in this table pertain to fall 2009 ninth-graders. Estimates were weighted by W1MATHTCH. The mathematics teacher weight is used to produce subpopulation estimates for ninth-grade students enrolled in a mathematics course. The weight includes adjustments for school and student nonresponse as well as mathematics teacher nonresponse using only student characteristics.
