**Notes:**
The dip in 1998 looks like it can be attributed to Ohio.  That state reported 22,917 infants and toddlers in 1997, but only 5161 in 1998.   The data notes suggest that Ohio implemented a new statewide data collection system that year and this improved their data reporting.  Perhaps they were not reporting a December 1 count?  They have never since reported so many children.

**Notes:**
What looks like a decline in 1999-2000 is actually the result of a slightly inflated rate for 1998-99.  In 1998-99, two large states underreported their dropouts.  This resulted in a somewhat inflated graduation rate.
