^aVariables have different amount of missing values; as a result, the numbers may not add up to these totals.

^bEnglish: Classrooms where only English was spoken by students (N = 84); Other: Classrooms where Spanish/other language were spoken by students (N = 75).

^cBecause some children spoke another language at home in addition to English, the numbers under this category add up to be more than the total n of 1338.

^dThis variable has the largest amount of missing values (12.5%).
