School enrollment rate: definition and scope
People age 3 and older enrolled in school as a share of all people age 3 and older. The headline is the latest value approved within this website’s frozen release. It is not a promise that no newer upstream product exists. The accessible table retains more precision than the rounded headline.
Limitations and comparability
Includes source-defined public and private schooling and higher education. It is not public K–12 enrollment.
The estimate describes the full 2020–2024 ACS period. Compare it with the same five-year product and universe. One-year ACS, model-based products and administrative counts cannot be joined into an unlabeled series.
Source count margins of error are retained in the raw download, but a margin of error for this calculated percentage is not supplied. We do not infer significance from point estimates, claim statistically settled ranks, or silently convert missing cells to zero. Cross-area associations do not establish individual circumstances or explain what caused a difference.
Source data, calculation and CSV downloads
Use the original selected cells, schema and formula with the immutable release. Summary-file columns use E001/M001; formulas use the corresponding ACS codes ending in E. Percentage numerators and denominators are supplied in the export.
