‡ Reporting standards not met. † Not applicable. * p<.05. Significantly different from both the U.S. and OECD averages at the .05 level of statistical significance. p<.05.

Although data for some race/ethnicities were not shown separately because the reporting standards were not met, they are included in the U.S. and state totals. Data on free or reduced-price lunch are based on principals' responses to a question in the school questionnaire that asked the approximate percentage of eligible students in the school during the previous school year.
