NOTE: Major refers to a teacher’s primary fields of study for a bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate, first-professional, or education specialist degree. Middle school grade teachers include teachers who taught students in grades 5–9 and did not teach any students in grades 10–12. High school grade teachers include all teachers who taught any of grades 10–12, as well as teachers who taught grade 9 and no other grades. See supplemental note 1 for more information on the National School Lunch Program.
