! Interpret data with caution. The standard error for this estimate is 30 to 50 percent of the estimate's value.
‡ Reporting standards not met. The standard error for this estimate is equal to 50 percent or more of the estimate's value.
¹The School Crime Supplement sample includes students ages 12–18 who were enrolled in grades 6–12 and, therefore, might not be representative of students in primary schools. Comparisons between students in primary schools and those in other school levels should be made with caution.
²Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility are only available for public schools.
NOTE: Tabular data include only students who reported being enrolled in grades 6 through 12 and not receiving any of their education through homeschooling during the school year reported. "At school" includes the school building, school property, school bus, or going to and from school. Perceived personal characteristic totals may sum to more than 100 percent because students could have reported hearing more than one type of hate-related word. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and missing data. Totals are based on respondents for whom school are available. No school match was available for 971,000 students. Population estimate for all students meeting the age, grade and school criteria is 24,964,000.
