\1\Includes special education, alternative, and other schools not classified by grade span. Because of changes in survey definitions, figures for "other" schools are not comparable from year to year. \2\Data are for 1985-86.

The sample survey was designed to correct an undercount of about 10 percent that was known to have occurred in earlier surveys. \3\Included in other categories. \4\Because of changes in survey procedures, figures are not directly comparable with data for later years. \5\Includes those colleges designated as institutions of higher education by the Higher Education General Information Survey system, even if they have a less than 2-year program.
