| 1 Caution should be used in comparing results before and after 2007. Beginning in 2007, the reference period was the school year, whereas in prior survey years the reference period was the previous 6 months. |
| NOTE: “At school” includes the school building, school property, school bus, or going to and from school. Detail does not sum to 100 percent as students may report being called more than one type of hate–related word. |
