*Count of private school students included in this database for 2021-22. Data excludes students per methodology described below and does not account for non-response.
**Figures are based on estimates by the National Center for Education Statistics, which attempts to account for schools that did not respond to the Private School Survey.
Correction, Jan. 27, 2025: This table originally included an incorrect note for one of the columns. The column detailing private school enrollment indicated it was based on estimates by the National Center for Education Statistics; but it is rather a count of private school students included in this database for 2021-22. The table headers and notes he been edited to more clearly distinguish the data.
