Note: Sample includes all student/year observations available in WCPSS administrative records. WCPSS maintained administrative data for grades K-9 in 1999–2000, grades K-10 in 2000–01, grades K-11 in 2001–02, and grades K-12 in all years 2002–03 through 2010–11. Total number of students data are drawn from the Common Core of Data. Since these data include all students in all grades and years, they provide a more accurate account of district enrollment growth across the sample.
