Public Elementary and Secondary School Student Enrollment and Staff Counts from the Common Core of Data: School Year 2007-2008. First Look

摘要

This report presents findings on the numbers of public school students and staff in the United States and other jurisdictions1 in school year 200708, using data from the State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/Secondary Education of the Common Core of Data (CCD) survey system. The CCD is an annual collection of data that are reported by state education agencies to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) through the U.S. Department of Educations EDFacts data collection system. Because the purpose of this report is to introduce new data through the presentation of tables containing descriptive information, only selected findings are presented. These findings have been chosen to demonstrate the range of information available when using the CCD rather than to discuss all of the observed differences, and they are not meant to emphasize any particular issue. Data in this report, taken from the State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/Secondary Education, may differ from data in other CCD reports based on data from the Local Education Agency Universe Survey and the Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey.
