U.S. school district complete profile dataset: annually updated K-12 district metrics
A dataset containing quantitative information about every K-12 public education school district in the United States. It is customizable, updated annually, and allows easy comparison between districts even across different states.
The problem
The current national educational data infrastructure is found within multiple unconnected source systems that are not fully interoperable. District operational data is primarily used for complying with state reporting requirements and is aggregated by states for federal reporting. Further, there is limited data sets available which compare districts from one state to that of another.
The solution
Researchers at the University of Tennessee have developed a dataset that contains quantitative information about every K-12 public education school district in the United States. This data set is customizable, updated annually, and allows for an easy comparison between different school districts even in different states.
