*Due to overlap between program and racial/ethnic student groups, the Statewide total is not a sum of the student groups listed.
**Census Day consists of the number of students primarily enrolled on Census Day (the first Wednesday in October).
***Cumulative Enrollment: consists of the total number of unduplicated primary and short-term enrollments within the academic year (July 1 to June 30), regardless of whether the student is enrolled multiple times within a school or district. Cumulative enrollment is calculated at each reporting level (e.g., school, district, county, and state) and therefore is not necessarily additive from one reporting level to the next.
