Data areas

Main education indicators covered

The site groups U.S. education data into indicators that can be ranked, compared, sourced, and updated.

$

School finance

Spending, revenue sources, per-pupil values, current expenditure, capital outlay, and finance rankings.

●

Enrollment and scale

Public school enrollment, district size, state share, school counts, and student population comparisons.

★

Outcomes and attainment

Graduation rates, NAEP scores, attainment measures, absenteeism, and comparison-ready outcome indicators.

Page format

Built as data pages, not standard blog posts

Each page is structured around chart summaries, full tables, searchable rows, sortable columns, source years, and careful interpretation notes.

↗

Charts first

Ranked bars, trend lines, grouped comparisons, stacked shares, and scatter charts when the topic needs them.

▦

Full tables

State ranking pages are designed for full 50-state plus District of Columbia coverage where source data supports it.

✓

Method notes

Pages separate publication year, source year, unit definitions, coverage limits, and interpretation boundaries.

Indicator types

How the site organizes data

Different education topics need different chart types, table columns, and source notes.

State-by-state rankings

Ranking pages compare one selected indicator at a time, such as spending per student, enrollment, graduation rate, NAEP score, or student-teacher ratio.

↗

School finance indicators

Finance pages separate total expenditure, current spending, capital outlay, revenue sources, and per-pupil values.

$

Outcome and attainment data

Outcome pages use cautious interpretation and avoid treating one indicator as a complete measure of school quality.

★
Methodology first

Rankings describe indicators, not overall school quality

Education data pages should separate measurement from interpretation. Spending, enrollment, staffing, scores, and attainment each require source-year notes, unit definitions, and coverage limits.
