Data status

7 of 7 national data layers are matched to this NCES district ID. Identity and school counts use NCES records. Academic estimates use SEDA, attendance uses EDFacts, finance uses NCES F-33, staffing and enrollment use 2023–24 NCES CCD where available, specialized support enrollment uses the 2021–22 CRDC, and community poverty context uses Census SAIPE. Every detailed view preserves its reporting year.
