INTRODUCTION

This attachment contains the details of sets of related data entries known as data groups (DGs) 

that are collected from state educational agencies (SEAs). The data groups in this document are 

organized by topic as listed in the below table.

A reviewer of this attachment may also want to reference Attachments B-2 and B-4. Attachment 

B-2 explains how to read the table of information on each data group. Attachment B-4 contains 

the definitions and permitted values of the categories in the category sets.

NON-FISCAL COMMON CORE OF DATA

The data groups in this section comprise most of the Non-Fiscal Common Core of Data (CCD) 

that are collected through the EDFacts Submission System (ESS). CCD is a program that 

annually collects fiscal and non-fiscal data about all public schools, public school districts and 

SEAs in the United States. The data are supplied by SEA officials and include information that 

describes schools and school districts, including name, address, and phone number; descriptive 

information about students and staff, including demographics; and fiscal data, including revenues 

and current expenditures. EDFacts collects only non-fiscal data for CCD. The data steward for 

these data groups is the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). 

The CCD also includes the data groups in the table below which are listed under other topics in 

this attachment.

ACCOUNTABILITY AND REPORTING

PROVISIONS OF ESEA

The data groups in this section support the oversight and reporting of the accountability

provisions of ESEA as amended, however, data groups associated with public school choice and 

supplemental educational services are included in a separate section. 

These data groups comprise the education data most frequently shared with the public. This 

section includes data for the accountability and reporting components of ESEA: academic 

achievement and participation in state assessments, graduation rates, additional academic 

indicators, adequate yearly progress (AYP), school improvement, and others. The data steward 

for the data groups in this section is the Student Achievement and School Accountability (SASA) 

Office within the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE).

The table below lists the data groups in this section:

Comment

This data group was formerly collected at the school level for Tier I and 

Tier II schools that received School Improvement Grant. Beginning 

with SY 2013-14, this data group will be collected for all schools at the 

school level. “Completing advanced coursework” means that a student 

finished an advanced coursework class for which he or she received 

credit in accordance with state or local requirements. 

File Specification # TBD

Advanced 

PlacementAdvanced Placement (AP) is a program sponsored by the College Board 

through which high school students can earn college credit and advanced 

college placement. The list of courses identified by the College Board as 

preparation for AP tests is available at: 

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html.

International 

Baccalaureate 

classesThe IB Diploma Programme, sponsored by the International 

Baccalaureate Organization, is designed as an academically challenging 

and balanced program of education with final examinations that prepares 

students, normally aged 16 to 19, for success at university and life 

beyond. The program is normally taught over two years. IB Diploma 

Programme students study six courses at higher level or standard level. 

Students must choose one subject from each of groups 1 to 5, thus 

ensuring breadth of experience in languages, social studies, the 

experimental sciences and mathematics. The sixth subject may be an arts 

subject chosen from group 6, or the student may choose another subject 

from groups 1 to 5. Additionally, IB Diploma students must meet three 

core requirements: the extended essay, the theory of knowledge course, 

and a creativity/action/service experience.

Advanced 

MathematicsAdvanced mathematics includes the following: trigonometry, 

trigonometry/algebra, trigonometry/analytic geometry, 

trigonometry/math analysis, analytic geometry, math analysis, math 

analysis/analytic geometry, probability and statistics, and pre-calculus.

TITLE I PROGRAM

The data groups in this section support oversight and reporting of the Title I Program excluding 

the accountability and reporting, public school choice, and supplemental educational services 

provisions which are in separate sections in this attachment. The data steward for these groups is 

the division of OESE that administers the Title I Program (OESE/Title I).

As part of the CSPR, ED collects data on participants and staff in Title I, Part A of ESEA. Title I, 

Part A programs can be classified into four types: Public Schoolwide Programs (Public SWP), 

Public Targeted Assistance Programs (Public TAS), Neglected or Delinquent Programs (N or D) 

funded by Title I Part A2and Services to Children in Private Schools (Private). The matrix below 

illustrates the relationship between the EDFacts data groups and files and the data collected on

PUBLIC SCHOOL CHOICE AND

SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

The data groups in this section support oversight and reporting on the public school choice and 

supplemental educational services (SES) provisions of the ESEA as amended. These provisions 

provide educational options—transferring to another public school in the district or receiving 

additional academic instruction such as tutoring — to eligible students who attend a school that 

has not made AYP for multiple years. The data stewards for these data groups are the Office of 

Innovation and Improvement (OII) and the Student Achievement and School Accountability

(SASA) Office within the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE).

SAFE, DRUG-FREE AND GUN-FREE SCHOOLS

The data groups in this section support oversight and reporting of the Safe and Drug Free 

Schools and Communities Act and the Gun-Free Schools Act.

In addition to the data groups collected through the EDFacts Submission System, ED will 

conduct a web-based survey using EMAPS to fulfill provisions of the Gun-Free Schools Act. 

That survey will include questions similar to the following:

 List the name and address of each LEA that has not provided an assurance that it is 

compliant with the state law that requires a student who brings a firearm to school, or 

possesses a firearm at school, be expelled for a year.

 List the name and address of each LEA that has not provided an assurance that it is in 

compliance with the requirement in Section 4141(h) that an LEA receiving ESEA funds 

has in place a policy requiring referral to the criminal justice or juvenile delinquency

system of any student who brings a firearm to a school, or possesses a firearm at school.

 Indicate whether the state law related to the Gun-Free Schools Act has changed in the 

past 12 months. If the law changed, provide a brief description of the change or a copy of 

the new/revised statute.

 Explain how the state law addresses the need for providing educational services in an 

alternative setting to students expelled from their regular school setting. For example, 

does the state law:

o Encourage LEAs to provide educational services to expelled students in an 

alternative setting

o Require LEAs to provide educational services to expelled students in an 

alternative setting

o Not address the need for educational services in an alternative setting.

 Indicate whether any state funds are used to support the implementation of educational 

services in alternative settings as it relates to students who have been expelled under the 

Gun-Free Schools Act.

The data steward for the data groups in this section is the Office of Safe and Healthy Schools 

(OSHS) which is under the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE).

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION

The data groups in this section support oversight and reporting of career and technical education. 

The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 has requirements for reporting 

performance indicators in the Consolidated Annual Report (CAR). Below are the performance 

indicators and crosswalks for how the data are calculated for all students and for the subgroups 

of students using students who are economically disadvantaged as an example. The definitions

of CTE concentrator and CTE participant are in Attachment B-1 under standard definitions. 

States will provide information on category sets that are missing or not collected in a metadata 

collection through EMAPS.
