| † Not applicable. | |||||||
| 1 Type of school is a mutually exclusive category in the CCD. However, there may be cases in which special education, vocational education, and alternative programs reside in other types of schools. | |||||||
| 2 Totals for number of schools may differ from published estimates since they exclude closed, inactive, and future schools. | |||||||
| 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). Types of schools are defined in the following way on the CCD: regular school—a public elementary/secondary school that does not focus primarily on vocational, special, or alternative education; special education school—a public elementary/secondary school that (1) focuses primarily on special education, including instruction for any of the following: hard of hearing, deaf, speech impaired, health impaired, orthopedically impaired, mentally retarded, seriously emotionally disturbed, multihandicapped, visually handicapped, deaf and blind; and (2) adapts curriculum, materials, or instruction for students served; vocational education school—a public elementary/secondary school that focuses primarily on vocational education and provides education and training in one or more semiskilled or technical operations; and alternative education school—a public elementary/secondary school that (1) addresses the needs of students that typically cannot be met in a regular school; (2) provides nontraditional education; (3) serves as an adjunct to a regular school; and (4) falls outside of the categories of regular, special education, or vocational education. | |||||||
