Overview
A comprehensive Parquet dataset containing directory information and student population data for every K-12 school in the United States — over 120,000 public, charter, and private schools across all 50 states and DC.
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
