Elementary/Secondary Information System (ELSi)

ELSi is an NCES web application that allows users to quickly view public and private school data and create custom tables and charts using data from the Common Core of Data (CCD) and Private School Survey (PSS). These data include number of schools, student enrollments (totals and by race/ethnicity and gender), graduates (for available years), staff counts, revenues, and expenditures.

Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates

The Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) program develops information resources to identify and understand the social and spatial context of education in the U.S. It uses data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey to create custom indicators of social, economic, and housing conditions for school-age children and their parents. It also uses spatial data collected by NCES and the Census Bureau to create geographic locale indicators, school point locations, school district boundaries, and other types of educational geography to support spatial analysis.

National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS) State Dashboard

NTPS is a nationwide sample survey collecting information directly from teachers and principals. The NTPS provides an opportunity for the characteristics and experiences of school staff to inform analyses about the education sector. This dashboard provides state-level NTPS statistics.
