A new dashboard that centralizes state-level data from the Digest of Education Statistics.

 

The Digest State Dashboard provides users with a compilation of state-specific data, presented in an easy-to-use format. As the first-ever Digest data tool, the Dashboard was developed to visualize state-level Digest data on topics of interest in U.S. education. With individual pages for each of the 50 states, DC, the Bureau of Indian Education, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, users can explore state- and entity-specific data, all in one place. Selected state findings from the Digest State Dashboard include: Overall trends of public school enrollment In Puerto Rico , 434,609 students were enrolled in public elementary and secondary schools in 2012 and 250,668 were enrolled in 2022. Characteristics of public school students In Arizona in 2022, some 48 percent of public school students were Hispanic, 35 percent were White, and 6 percent were Black. Also in 2022, some 13 percent of Arizona public school students had a disability. Private school education In the District of Columbia in 2021, there were 80 private elementary and secondary schools, which enrolled 20,620 students and employed 2,370 full-time-equivalent teachers. 4-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR) In 2021–22 in Kentucky, the overall 4-year ACGR was 90 percent. For economically disadvantaged students the ACGR was 88 percent, and for students with disabilities it was 80 percent. Each figure in the Dashboard features the most recently published data from the Digest. The Dashboard will be continuously updated throughout the year, as data become available in the Digest, including two postsecondary figures on enrollment and institutions and student charges in May 2024.
