Focus States' Public Education Data
Public education data published on state education agency websites by the six focus states: California, Florida, New York, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. The CEE database only includes data for districts/schools in the same-year Common Core of Data (CCD) directories. Variable names are aligned by the CEE team, but different states have different definitions for the same variable. Please make sure to understand the nuances by looking into the the data sources provided below.
