The tables in this compilation make it possible to compare public school enrollment by state and school enrollment variances by county. Tables on school enrollment by state list: (1) a 1-year comparison of total state enrollments for 1996-97 versus 1997-98 in alphabetical order; (2) a 1-year comparison of total state enrollments for 1996-97 versus 1997-98 in descending order by variance; (3) a 1-year comparison of total state enrollments for 1996-97 versus 1997-98 in descending order by percent variance; (4) a 5-year comparison of total state enrollments for 1992-93 versus 1997-98 in alphabetical order; (5) a 5-year comparison of total state enrollments for 1992-93 versus 1997-98 in descending order by variance; and (6) a 5-year comparison of total state enrollments for 1992-93 versus 1997-98 in descending order by percent variance. The section on school enrollment variances by county contains 1-year comparisons of variances (1,000 students or more and 5,000 students or more) for 1996-97 versus 1997-98 in descending order by variance and in descending order by variance within each state. The same information is displayed for 5-year comparisons for 1992-93 and 1997-98. (Contains 10 tables.) (SLD)
