This report presents data on private nursery school, kindergarten, elementary, and high school enrollment. The report contrasts private with public enrollment by such characteristics as race, Spanish origin, and metropolitan residence. Other cross-classifications include family income and tuition expenses along with education of householder. The report compares church-related with other private schools for 1979 and traces trends in total enrollment since 1948 for public and private elementary schools and high schools.
Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
