NOTE: The overall national results include both public and nonpublic school students. The national (public) and state/jurisdiction results
include public school students only. Data for DoDEA schools are included in the overall national results, but not in the national (public)
results. SD includes students identified as having either an Individualized Education Program or protection under Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The results for students with disabilities are based on students who were assessed and cannot be generalized
to the total population of such students. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.

Department of Defense Education Activity (overseas and domestic schools).
NOTE: The overall national results include both public and nonpublic school students. The national (public) and state/jurisdiction results
include public school students only. Data for DoDEA schools are included in the overall national results, but not in the national (public)
results. SD includes students identified as having either an Individualized Education Program or protection under Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The results for students with disabilities are based on students who were assessed and cannot be generalized
to the total population of such students. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
