These numbers are the DC public and public charter school students who took each high-school course exam (PARCC, then DC CAPE), by the school where they tested. Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II count high-school students (grades 9-12) only; middle-school students who take those courses are not included. English I and II count every student who took them. OSSE hides groups of fewer than 10 students.
