* Includes the 5 independent high schools acting as public for years 1993-94 through 2001-2002. Prior years data unavailable for these 5 schools.

** Due to date entry errors, data for the category "American Indian/Alaskan" for the years FY84 and FY85 have been restated.

*** Beginning FY 2000, enrollment in ethnic categories, "Asian" and "Hawaiian/Pacific Islander" were collected separately. The data are summed together in this table to allow comparison with previous years.

Figure 2:
Vermont Public School Ethnic Enrollment Numbers - FY77 to FY00

Figure 2 presents a twenty-four year history of Vermont ethnic enrollment for the school years FY77 to FY00.

The enrollment data for "White" students were not included in Figure 2 to improve the graphic representation of low minority enrollment in Vermont public schools. Over the twenty-four year period the largest growth in public school ethnic enrollment has been reported in the "American Indian/Alaskan" category with a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.78%, followed by "Asian" with a CAGR of 8.9%. Black and Hispanic each have a CAGR of 6.78% and 7.79% respectively. The growth in the "American Indian/Alaskan" category can probably be attributed to more accurate and comprehensive reporting methodology. The growth in this category has slowed down since FY88 when there was an increase of 79.2% over the FY86 number (the information was not collected in FY87). The growth in the other categories may be due in part to immigration into the state and not higher birth rates in these ethnic groups. From FY94 to FY00 the category with the highest CAGR is "Hispanic" at 8.65%, followed by "Black" at 5.95% and "Asian" at 5.0%. "American Indian/Alaskan" has a decreasing CAGR (-2.2%) over the same six year period.
