NOTE: Estimates are 3-year averages of 2007–09 data. Use of a 3-year average increases the sample size, thereby reducing the size of sampling errors and producing more stable estimates. A small number of children enrolled in kindergarten are included. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
