SchoolDigger brings together K-12 school data from all 50 U.S. states and DC into one comprehensive data set, making it simple to identify, compare and analyze school and district metrics, including test scores, free/reduced lunch counts, student ethnicity, spending per student, SchoolDigger rankings, and more.
Since 2006, SchoolDigger.com has provided millions of parents with essential metrics about schools and school performance. Nationwide performance data for schools has been incredibly difficult to collect - each state publishes data in different ways, from Excel spreadsheets to huge SAS files to massive PDFs to difficult-to-navigate websites. The folks at SchoolDigger continuously monitor and collect this data and present it as one comprehensive data set, making it a no-brainer for companies to use for nationwide cases, including analysis, data display, and much more.
This free sample includes data for the state of Ohio and gives your team the opportunity to get comfortable with the data set. The data set for all states and DC is available as a separate product and can be found at these links:
School directory, including name, address, county, phone number, url, grades served and lat/long for over 120,000 public, charter and private schools.
District directory, including name, address, grades served and member schools for over 18,000 districts.
Five years of student metrics, including student body count, ethnicity, pupil/teacher ratios, and free-reduced lunch program percentages.
