N/A Data not available.

(1) Enrollment for school year 2020-2021.
(2) CERTIFIED STAFF (for school year 2017-2018): Those certified to be teachers, school administrators, librarians, counselors or school psychologists.
(3) COHORT GRADUATION RATE (for school year 2019-2020): A "cohort" is composed of students who are first-time 9th graders in the fall of a particular school year, plus students who transfer in, minus students who transfer out, during a four-year school period. This percentage is the number of this cohort who graduate from high school in four years with a regular high school diploma. In cases where these cohorts exist in Elmentarys, this is due to adult education or charter schools for secondary-level students.
(4) SBE: State Board of Education Charters. See California Charter Schools for information about charter schools.
