Caveats

  • Value is headcount, a physical person, not full-time-equivalent enrollment.
  • In fall 2012 the enrollment census date changed from the 10th day of term to October 15; earlier years are not restated.
  • Private and out-of-state institutions, and enrollment reported separately as professional-technical-only, are not included.
  • Idaho's four-year graduation rate and go-on rate are published only through the Idaho Report Card web application, which has no static download.
