1 Total for private schools includes: Roman Catholic schools, other religious schools, nonsectarian schools, and schools with no religious affiliation data reported. | ||||||||||||||||||
2 The School Crime Supplement sample includes students ages 12 through 18 who were enrolled in grades 6 through 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
3 Data 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 match are available. Population estimates for school characteristics are based on respondents for whom data on school are available (94.7 percent of students). Population estimate for all students meeting the age, grade, and school criteria is 25,023,000. | ||||||||||||||||||
