NOTE: Resident population includes civilian population and armed forces personnel residing within the United States and within each state; it excludes armed forces personnel residing overseas. The total counts of ungraded students and those whose grade was not specified were prorated into either the prekindergarten through grade 8 level or the grades 9 through 12 level based on the known grade-level distribution of a state. In addition to students in grades 9 through 12 and ungraded students, enrollment in grades 9 through 12 includes a small number of students reported as being enrolled in grade 13.
