Note: Projections apply year-to-year percentage increases in Education Department counts to NCHE data, which are less up to date but account for double-counting of mobile students. Data include all 50 states and Washington, D.C., but not other U.S. territories. Each year refers to the initial year of the school calendar, e.g., "2006" refers to the 2006-07 school year.
