Common Core of Data: State Dropout and Completion Data The report draws on a wide array of surveys and administrative datasets to present statistics on high school dropout and completion rates at the state and national levels. The report includes estimates of the percentage of students who drop out in a given 12-month period (event dropout rates), the percentage of young people in a specified age range who are high school dropouts (status dropout rates), and the percentage of young people in a specified age range who hold high school credentials (status completion rates). In addition, the report includes data on the percentage of students who graduate with a regular diploma within four years of starting ninth grade (adjusted cohort graduation rates).

This report marks the thirteenth school year for which the U.S. Department of Education (ED) has collected annual performance data from all states for the Education for Homeless Children and Youth (EHCY) program. The EDFacts Submission System allows for the collection of un-duplicated data on students who experienced homelessness and were reported as enrolled in public schools, even if they attend more than one local educational agency (LEA) during the school year. This report draws from that data to provide the only publicly available compilation of un-duplicated data for the EHCY program. The number of homeless students enrolled in public school districts and reported by state educational agencies (SEAs) during School Year (SY) 2016-17 was 1,355,821. This total is not intended to indicate the prevalence of children and youth experiencing homelessness, as it only includes those students who are enrolled in public school districts or LEAs. It does not capture school-aged children and youth who experience homelessness during the summer only, those who dropped out of school, or young children who are not enrolled in preschool programs administered by LEAs.

The State Preschool Yearbook is an annual publication which has tracked the funding, access, and policies of state-funded preschool programs since the 2001-2002 school year. The Yearbook seeks to improve the public’s knowledge and understanding of state efforts to expand the availability of high-quality education to young children in the 21st century. We hope that this report will serve as a resource for policymakers, advocates, and researchers to make more informed decisions as state-funded preschool education moves forward to further decades of progress.

The Higher Education Research and Development Survey, successor to the Survey of Research and Development Expenditures at Universities and Colleges, is the primary source of information on R&D expenditures at U.S. colleges and universities. The survey collects information on R&D expenditures by field of research and source of funds and also gathers information on types of research and expenses and headcounts of R&D personnel. The survey is an annual census of institutions that expended at least $150,000 in separately budgeted R&D in the fiscal year.   Courtesy: National Science Foundation

Graduation Indicators of United States, 2013

This dataset contains the number of students enrolled in the fall, by distance education status and level of student. Institutions with traditional academic year calendar systems (semester, quarter, trimester or 4-1-4) report their enrollment as of October 15 or the official fall reporting date of the institution. Institutions with calendar systems that differ by program or allow continuous enrollment report students that are enrolled at any time between August 1 and October 31. This file has multiple records per institution. Records are uniquely defined by the variables IPEDS ID (UNITID), and level of student (EFDELEV). Each record will contain the total students enrolled, students enrolled exclusively in distance education courses, students enrolled in some education distance education courses and students not enrolled in any distance education courses. The number of students enrolled in exclusively distance education courses are also reported by the following location categories: located in the same state/jurisdiction as the institution; in a different state/jurisdiction than the institution; in the U.S. but the state/jurisdiction is unknown; and residing outside the U.S..  

This dataset contains the number of first-time freshmen by the state of residence, along with data on the number who graduated from high school the previous year. Institutions with traditional academic year calendar systems (semester, quarter, trimester or 4-1-4) report their enrollment as of October 15 or the official fall reporting date of the institution. Institutions with calendar systems that differ by program or allow continuous enrollment report students that are enrolled at any time between August 1 and October 31. 

This dataset contains data on the total entering class, first-year retention rates and the student-to-faculty ratio. The total entering class is the number of incoming students (students enrolling for the first time in a postsecondary institution versus students transferring in from another postsecondary institution) at an institution. This measure permits the calculation of the graduation rate cohort as a proportion of the total entering student body.

The total entering class is the number of incoming students (students enrolling for the first time in a postsecondary institution versus students transferring in from another postsecondary institution) at an institution. This measure permits the calculation of the graduation rate cohort as a proportion of the total entering student body. The first-year retention rate data measure the percentage of first-year students who had persisted in or completed their educational program a year later (began in fall 2016 and persisted or completed in fall 2017). Institutions can exclude the number of students from the first-time cohort who left the institution for any of the following reasons: died or were totally and permanently disabled; to serve in the armed forces (including those called to active duty); to serve with a foreign aid service of the Federal Government (e.g. Peace Corps); or to serve on official church missions. Beginning with the fall 2016 data, instititions can include first-time bachelor’s-seeking (or equivalent) study abroad students who were excluded from the first-time cohort  but who have re-enrolled at the institution their second year. Student-to-faculty ratio is defined as  total FTE students (not in graduate or professional programs) divided by total FTE instructional staff (not teaching in graduate or professional programs). All data on this file is applicable only to institutions with undergraduate students. Institutions with traditional academic year calendar systems (semester, quarter, trimester or  4-1-4) report their enrolment as of October 15 or the official fall reporting date of the institution (academic year). Institutions with calendar systems that differ by program or allow continuous enrolment report students that are enrolled at any time between August 1 and October 31 (program year).  Only academic year institutions report entering class data. Institutions with short programs (less-than-one-year) will not have data on retention.

This dataset contains institutional finance data for institutions that use accounting standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) . All private not-for-profit institutions are included in this file. There are some public institutions that use the FASB model and are also included. Finance data includes institutional revenues by source, expenditures by functional categories, expenditures by natural classification categories, endowments, and assets and liabilities. This information provides context for understanding the cost and resources of providing postsecondary education. It is used to calculate the contribution of postsecondary education to the gross national product. Beginning with fiscal year 2016 detailed expenditures by function and the natural classifications of fringe benefits, operations and maintenance of plant, depreciation and interest are no longer available.

The grade is based on six factors: state academic standards, charter schools, home school regulation burden, private school choice, teacher quality, and digital learning. Because the Education and Workforce Task Force at ALEC focuses the most on private school choice and charter schools, those factors were given double weight in the calculation over overall rank and grade. The weighted grades were converted into a GPA average and an individual rank. We calculated states' education policy grades in the following manner. First, we converted all rankings into letter grades where possible. For example, we converted homeschooling regulation burden levels as such: none = A, low = B, moderate = C and high = D. Next, we converted all letter grades to a numerical score based on a GPA scale (A=4, B =3, C=2, D=1, F=0). Those scores were tallied and divided by the number of categories in which a score was present. In some categories, grades were awarded with pluses and minuses, and numerical conversions were altered appropriately. A grade of B-, for example, was converted to a numeric score of 2.667, while a C+ was converted to 2.333.)   Grade Value Grade Low Score High Score 1 HAS 3.834 4.166 2 HAS- 3.5 3.833 3 B+ 3.167 3.499 4 B 2.834 3.166 5 B- 2.5 2.833 6 C+ 2.167 2.499 7 VS 1.834 2.166 8 VS- 1.5 1.833 9 D+ 1.167 1.499 10 D 0.834 1.166 11 D- 0.5 0.833 12 F 0 0.499

The National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended, requires that the National Science Foundation initiate and maintain a program for the determination of the total amount of money for scientific and engineering research, including money allocated for the construction of the facilities wherein such research is conducted, received by each educational institution and appropriate nonprofit organization in the United States, by grant, contract, or other arrangement from agencies of the Federal Government, and to report annually thereon to the President and the Congress. To fulfill this requirement, NSF’s National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics has used the data collection system originally designed by the Committee on Academic Science and Engineering of the Federal Council for Science and Technology. Through its Survey of Federal Science and Engineering Support to Universities, Colleges, and Nonprofit Institutions, NCSES annually collects statistical data from the 19 federal agencies that account for virtually all support for science and engineering (S&E) research and development at educational institutions. Data are also collected on these agencies' obligations to nonprofit institutions. Since its inception, this survey system has been the sole source of data on federal funding to individual institutions for S&E activities and, therefore, attracts a wide audience. These data provide information that enables users to examine patterns of support for individual institutions over time and to compare such patterns with those of other institutions.   Courtesy: National Science Foundation
