1 Respondents who identified themselves as being of Hispanic or Latino origin were classified as “Hispanic or Latino,” regardless of their race. “Black, not Hispanic or Latino” includes African Americans. “All other races, not Hispanic or Latino” includes Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders, American Indians or Alaska Natives, and respondents of Two or more races (3.7 percent of all respondents).
2The School Crime Supplement sample includes students ages 12 through 18 and, therefore, might not be representative of students in 6th grade. Comparisons between students in 6th grade and those in other grades should be made with caution.
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. Population estimate for all students meeting the age, grade, and school criteria is 25,023,000.
