NOTE: Data presented in this figure are based on the estimated number of public elementary schools—56,400. Special education classes are classes prior to kindergarten that serve only children with Individualized Education Programs. General education classes are all other classes primarily for 3- or 4-year-olds—general and combined/inclusive prekindergarten, Title I prekindergarten, Head Start classes that are part of a program administered by the school district, and any other classes primarily for 3- or 4-year-olds prior to kindergarten. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
