1 Count of students receiving educational services from the school district may differ somewhat from the counts in tables A-12 and A-16, which reflect the count of students from the schools aggregated up to the school district. | |||||||
2 Full-time equivalent (FTE) is the amount of time required to perform an assignment stated as a proportion of a full-time position. It is computed by dividing the amount of time employed by the amount of time normally required for a full-time position. FTE is not a head count; for example, 2 half-time employees represent 1 FTE. | |||||||
3 Includes high school diploma recipients as well as other high school completers (e.g., certificates of attendance), but not high school equivalencies (e.g., GEDs). | |||||||
4 Totals for number of schools may differ from published estimates since they exclude closed, inactive, and future schools. | |||||||
5 Totals do not include districts where data were not available. | |||||||
NOTE: Data include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic). | |||||||
