What this data cannot show

  • Enrollment is NCES’s count on one day in the fall, as each state reported it: not attendance, and not the year’s total.
  • 8 operational schools in Delaware reported no enrollment, or none above zero, and are not ranked; each keeps its page.
  • Schools with the same enrollment share a rank. A virtual school is ranked where its state counts its students, which can be far from where they live.
