This resource brings together evaluative, demographic, and comparative statistics from various sources, ranging from the Department of Education to the National Center for Education Statistics, for 5,838 public school districts in the US. Each state and its districts are profiled in the first section, with information on students, diploma recipients, high school drop-out rates, staff, student/staff ratios, current spending, and college entrance exam scores, as well as test scores from the National Assessment of Education Progress broken down by gender, race, ethnicity, and class size. The second section covers individual school districts arranged alphabetically by county, focusing on schools with 1,500 or more students, with contact information and data on grade span; district type; number and type of schools; number of teachers, librarians/media specialists, and guidance counselors; current spending; enrollment; drop-out and graduation rates; and diploma recipients. The final section lists average scores and proficiency levels for fourth grade reading and math and eighth grade reading, math, writing, and sciences, with national rankings by district. Indexes are by school district and city. Along with a new glossary, this edition has new data ranking information on federal, local, and state revenue and long-term debt.
