† Not applicable. Some states do not have charter school authorization and some states do not designate magnet schools.
‡ Reporting standards not met. Information about whether or not a school was a magnet school was missing for 18.2 percent of schools in the 50 states and District of Columbia.
¹ Individual state total number of students are included only if the state reports data for regular, special education, vocational education, and alternative school types.
² Number of Title I eligible schools includes those with and without schoolwide Title I programs.
³ Data were missing in one or more states for the number of students and the number of vocational education, magnet, Title I, or Title I schoolwide program schools. A reporting states total is shown if data for any item in the table were not available for some, but not more than 15 percent, of all schools in the United States. If data for an item were unavailable for more than 15 percent of schools in the United States, the total for that item is shown as "reporting standards not met."
⁴ DoDDS and DDESS are the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas) and the Department of Defense dependents schools (domestic), respectively.
