Overview
SchoolDigger's flagship data product gives you 10 years of normalized, analysis-ready data for every K-12 school and district in the United States — over 120,000 schools and 18,500 districts across all 50 states and DC.
Collecting nationwide school performance data is notoriously difficult. Each state publishes in different formats — Excel spreadsheets, SAS files, massive PDFs, difficult-to-navigate websites. SchoolDigger has been doing this work since 2006, continuously monitoring all 50 state data sources and normalizing everything into one consistent data set. The result: one clean quarterly data delivery instead of 50 separate data pipelines.
