¹Includes Pacific Islanders.
²For 2008 and 2009, data on Pacific Islanders and students of Two or more races were reported by only a small number of states. Therefore, the data are not comparable to figures for 2010 and later years.
³Includes imputations for nonreported prekindergarten enrollment in California.
⁴Includes imputations for nonreported prekindergarten enrollment in Oregon.
⁵Data by race/ethnicity include imputations for suppressed data in California.
⁶Projected.
NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Enrollment data for students not reported by race/ethnicity were prorated based on the known racial/ethnic composition of a state by grade to match state totals. Prior to 2008, separate data on Asian students and Pacific Islander students and data on students of Two or more races were not collected; each student could be assigned to only one of the available race categories. 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.

¹Includes Pacific Islanders.

²For 2008 and 2009, data on Pacific Islanders and students of Two or more races were reported by only a small number of states. Therefore, the data are not comparable to figures for 2010 and later years.

³Includes imputations for nonreported prekindergarten enrollment in California.

⁴Includes imputations for nonreported prekindergarten enrollment in Oregon.

⁵Data by race/ethnicity include imputations for suppressed data in California.

⁶Projected.

NOTE: Data in this table represent the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Enrollment data for students not reported by race/ethnicity were prorated based on the known racial/ethnic composition of a state by grade to match state totals. Prior to 2008, separate data on Asian students and Pacific Islander students and data on students of Two or more races were not collected; each student could be assigned to only one of the available race categories. 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.
