“No current enrollment” means NCES reports zero students in its latest release. Historical proficiency can still appear for the earlier assessment year; verify the school's current operating status with its district.

Note: schools marked “Not reported” (often small or specialized programs) lack state proficiency data and aren't included in the Schools score.
