Fall Membership
VDOE annually collects statistics on the number of students enrolled in public school on September 30. This report, known as Fall Membership, is submitted by each school in Virginia that officially enrolls students (i.e. student records are maintained on a Virginia teacher's register or automated system).

Understanding Fall Membership Reports
Student counts are reported by grade assignment and ethnicity. Excluded from the September 30 Fall Membership count are special education preschool pupils, pupils in hospitals, clinics or detention homes and local programs such as vocational and alternative education centers (i.e., centers or schools which receive, but do not officially enroll students).
The racial / ethnic categories are as follows:
Ethnicity:
| Hispanic / Latino | A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. |
