Definition: Number of students enrolled in public primary schools by race/ethnicity.
Notes: Primary schools defined as those with lowest grade of "Pre-K" through 3 and highest grade of "Pre-K" through 8. Data for 1999-2001 geocoded from zip codes to metropolitan areas. Enrollment by race/ethnic groups will not necessarily sum to total enrollment because not all schools reported enrollment by race/ethnicity. Data for multi-racial students only collected for all states as of 2010-2011. Excludes metro areas in which 10% or more of students attended schools for which race/ethnicity data was not reported. Pre-K students not included for metros in the following states in the specified years: 1999-2000: AL, CA, KY, WY. 2000-2001: AL, CA, KY, WY, TN. 2007-2008: CA, MI, SD. 2010-2011: CA, OR, MI.
