% = percent; SE = Standard Error; n = sample size of schools for the specified year.
Since the majority of the schools used for this analysis participated across several of the school years (44.2% of schools participated in all four school years, 27.8% of the schools participated in three of the school years, and 13.9% participated in two of the school years)
We use enrollment cutoffs that are the classifications used by the Michigan High School Athletic Association to determine which division schools will be placed (class A is the largest and class D is the smallest) (For more information: https://www.mhsaa.com/).
Defined by the CCD as regular school versus ‘special education school/vocational school/alternative school/reportable program
