— Not available. 1 Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Vermont reported data on an alternative July through June cycle, rather than the specified October through September cycle for dropout data. 2 High school graduate counts include estimates for nonreporting states, based on 2003 12th-grade enrollment racial/ethnic distribution reported by state. Event dropout rate totals are totals for reporting states only. 3 Data differ slightly from figures reported in other tables due to varying reporting practices for racial/ethnic survey data. NOTE: Includes only graduates for whom race/ethnicity was reported. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Event dropout rates measure the percentage of public school students in grades 9 through 12 who dropped out of school between one October and the next (except where noted).
