AI/AN students at high density schools concentrated in the Mountain region

The NIES survey examined the distribution of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students across the five NIES-defined regions in which the schools they attended were located: Atlantic, North Central, South Central, Mountain, and Pacific.

Note that the findings on this website are based on comparisons between students in high density schools and low density schools. To see results of comparisons between AI/AN students and non-AI/AN students and students in public and BIE schools, click on the links in the "See the report for results by..." box below.
