! Interpret data with caution. Due to relatively large starndard errors, estimates are unstable.
NOTE: CTE is career/technical education. NSLP is the National School Lunch Program. IEP is an Individualized Education Program. LEP is limited English proficient. Area CTE schools were not included in the data collection and thus are not included in this table. Area CTE schools are described in tables H8 and H9. Details may not sum to 100 percent because of rounding.
