Description:

The indicators in this dataset can be grouped into the following categories:

  • School Information
  • School Enrollment (includes students by race and ethnicity, students with Limited English Proficiency, and students with disabilities)
  • School Staff (FTE equivalent)
  • Gifted and Talented Programs
  • Retention
  • In School Suspension (ISS)

  • Expulsions
  • Harrassment and Bullying
  • Criminal Offenses
  • Referrals to Law Enforcement
  • Arrests

Percent and rate indicators have all been derived by PolicyMap. School locations, names, district names, level, type, and charter school status are all from the NCES CCD.
