| Notes: | ||||||
| The data source for secondary enrollment has changed. | ||||||
| Previously, secondary enrollment was taken from the EF-M-35 Year End Report for School Systems/Selected Private Schools. | ||||||
| In order to fully comply with federal dropout reporting guidelines, the data source is now fall enrollment for | ||||||
| the school year in question. This is reported on the EF-M-40 Fall School Statistical Report as of October 1, 1998. | ||||||
| Dropouts are reported on the EF-M-35a Year End Report for School Systems/Selected Private | ||||||
| Schools Part II - 1998-99 Dropouts. | ||||||
| Note: Only private schools with 60% or more publicly funded students are required to file the | ||||||
| dropout report with the Department of Education. | ||||||
| Note: Elm Street School, Mechanic Falls, Androscoggin County, is a grade K-9 school. | ||||||
