1Includes ungraded students as well as students whose grade was not specified. These students were prorated into either the prekindergarten through grade 8 level or the grades 9 through 12 level based on the known grade-level distribution of a state.
2Includes students reported as being enrolled in grade 13.
3Includes imputations for nonreported prekindergarten enrollment in California.
4Includes imputations for nonreported prekindergarten enrollment in Oregon.
NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Due to changes in reporting and imputation practices, prekindergarten enrollment for years prior to 1992 represent an undercount compared with later years. Projections in this table were calculated after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic and take into account the expected impacts of the pandemic. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
