School Enrollment

In question 11 on the 1990 census forms, we asked people if they had attended a regular school or college at any time between February 1, 1990, and the census date, April 1, 1990. We defined a regular school as a nursery school, kindergarten, elementary school, and schooling that leads to a high school diploma or college degree.

Educational Attainment

In question 12 on the 1990 census forms, we asked people to mark how much schooling they had completed. Grades and degrees were listed ranging from “No school completed” to “Doctorate degree.”
