1 “Large central city” includes all students enrolled in schools that are located in a “central city” of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) of at least 2.5 million in total population.
|
NOTE: An MSA is a Census Bureau designation encompassing a “large population nucleus together with adjacent communities that have a high degree of economic and social integration with that core.” The majority of large central city schools in this indicator are in what are commonly considered to be inner cities. A few schools not thought to be in what is commonly considered to be an “inner city” are included in this category because within each MSA the largest city is designated a “central city,” even if the geographic area of this city does not technically meet the Census requirements concerning population size and commuting patterns to be designated as a “central city” area. For more information about community type and the National School Lunch Program, see supplemental note 1. For more information on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), see supplemental note 4.
