! Interpret data with caution. Estimate is unstable because the standard error represents more than 30 percent of the estimate.
‡ Reporting standards are not met.
¹ "Any credit" includes any earned credit greater than 0 and can be less than 1, such as when 0.5 credits are required for graduation, as is the case in some states.
NOTE: Students in the analysis required a complete set of transcripts which is defined by a transcript from last attended school, course credit in each year of attendance, and a minimum of 16 earned credits. For state-representative data, students in the analysis attended school in the same state throughout high school and also the same type of high school (public/Catholic/other private).
NOTE: W3HSTRANS weight was used for this crosstabulation.
