There is public and private school enrollment data, broken down by elementary and secondary school. Data on charter school enrollment is broken out, with trends over time shown. Information also is provided on the growing numbers of students being homeschooled and students being educated at virtual schools and blended schools.
Additional data is provided on subgroups of students, including preschool students, English-language learners, students in poverty and students with disabilities.
Scope & Methodology
The main source of the compiled data found in PreK-12 Enrollment & Demographics is the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, generally thought to be the most authoritative source for data of this type. However, because of the time lag before NCES updates data, additional information has been drawn from other respected sources including MCH Strategic Data, National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, the National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, and the National Institute for Early Education Research at Rutgers University.Overall enrollment increases within U.S. PreK-12 education are good news for providers of instructional materials as they point to a larger student population needing education resources. To take advantage of the opportunities they represent, it is necessary to look at where the growth is occurring, both in terms of school enrollment and within student subgroups.
