------------------------------------ Data were first reported by race/ethnicity in 1998.  If all children were not reported by race/ethnicity, the number of children reported by age may not equal the number reported by race/ethnicity. Percentage of population is calculated by dividing the child count by the general U.S. population estimates for children in this age range for a particular year and multiplying the result by 100 to get a percentage. Population data for 1997 through 1999 are July estimates downloaded from the Census website in July 2001.  These data are based on the 1990 decennial Census.  For 2000 through 2002, population data are July 1 estimates, released October 2003.  These data are based on the 2000 decennial census.  The population estimates are from the Population Estimates Program, U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division. U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, Data Analysis Systems (DANS).  Data as of July 30, 2003.
