Overview
SchoolDigger's data product gives you 5 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.
This product includes the same comprehensive data as our flagship 10-year product, with a 5-year historical window. Ideal if your analysis doesn't require a full decade of trends, or if you want a lower-cost entry point to SchoolDigger data.
S3 Access: Query In-Place, Always Current
This product uses AWS Data Exchange for Amazon S3. You get direct read access to Apache Parquet files in our S3 bucket — no file downloads, no revision management, no storage costs on your end.
- Query in-place with Amazon Athena, Redshift Spectrum, EMR, SageMaker, or any tool that reads from S3
- Always current — when we update the data, you see it immediately
- No storage costs — data lives in our bucket, not yours
- Columnar format — Parquet delivers faster queries and lower scan costs vs. CSV/TSV

Dimensions summary
This listing uses a single pricing dimension: Product Access (Units). You buy access to the data product through one contract-based option, with no separate tiers, instance sizes, or usage add-ons to choose from. Billing follows a 5-year contract term, and you access the data through Amazon S3. Because there is only one dimension, pricing does not scale by usage volume or feature level. You pay for the access grant that unlocks the U.S. school directory and performance metrics package.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
It grants access to the U.S. school directory and performance metrics data package delivered through Amazon S3. The package covers public and private K-12 schools and districts across all 50 states, including enrollment, demographics, test scores, rankings, finance, and district boundary data.
No. This is a single flat contract dimension, not usage-metered. Buying Product Access grants the data package for the 5-year term. Your software charge does not scale with query volume or download size. Standard AWS S3 access or transfer fees may apply separately outside this contract.
SchoolDigger aggregates data from national education statistics, state education departments, and census sources. Rankings update annually and other data updates continuously. Historical enrollment and demographic trends span decades. The data package reflects these ongoing updates during your contract term.
