Notes: 1) School enrollment figures for 2006/2007 are preliminary. 2)
Private enrollment includes home schools. 3) County rankings for
high-school graduates continuing to higher education are subject to
revision. Data from the Indiana Department of Education for Vigo County
appear to include an erroneous entry. Until the data has been corrected by
IDOE, Vigo will be removed from the rankings. |
