This report presents summary data on the general

characteristics; fiscal revenues and expenditures, education agency and

school numbers and sizes, and students and staff for each state, the District

of Columbia, the Department of Defense Dependents Schools, and five outlying

areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and

the Virgin Islands). The factors for which data are presented are those most

commonly used to present a thumbnail sketch of the resources, needs,

organizations, and special characteristics of education within a state. The

report is divided into the U. S. profile, rankings of the states, and

profiles of the states and outlying areas. Each profile presents five

categories of relevant information: (1) general characteristics; (2)

agency/school information; (3) student information; (4) staff information;

and (5) fiscal information. Data are presented in 627 figures. An appendix

contains standard error tables. (SLD)

NTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Examinations of the status and quality of education in the United States are often based on comparisons

among states. Comparisons of this type are most useful, valid, and constructive when states are examined

alongside other states with similar characteristics. It is also helpful to have a variety of factors that are

important to public education conveniently arrayed for individual states. State Profiles of Public Elementary

and Secondary Education, 1996-97 is the third in a series of publications reporting summary data on the general characteristics, fiscal revenues and expenditures, educational agency and school numbers and sizes, and

students and staff for each state, the District of Columbia, Department of Defense Dependents Schools, and

the five outlying areasAmerican Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,

the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

The factors for which these data are reported are those most commonly used to present a thumbnail sketch

of the resources, needs, organization, and special characteristics of education within a state. When available, equivalent data for the 1987/88 school year are presented side-by-side to help in the assessment of

changes over a ten-year period. This information is displayed in numeric and graphic form to make it useful

for a wide range of audiences and purposes.

This report is divided into three major sections: o U.S. Profile, summarizing the statistics across the 50 states and the District of Columbia on all

variables; o Rankings of the States, consisting of a collection of tables depicting the relative position of the

various states and the District of Columbia on selected variables; and

o Profiles of the States and Outlying Areas, providing numeric and graphic information, listed

alphabetically with Department of Defense dependents schools and the outlying areas appearing

after the states.

Each profile presents five categories of relevant information: o General characteristics: demographic and fiscal characteristics of the state, as well as number of

students, teachers and public schools. o Agency/school information: membership characteristics and sizes of schools and education

agencies, grade levels in schools, and proportion of students and schools in different locales. o Student information: the numbers and ethnic backgrounds of students, the numbers of high

school completers and dropouts, and achievement levels for students in selected grades. o Staff information: the numbers and proportions of instructional, support services, and administrative staff, average students to teacher ratios, salary information, and teacher characteristics. o Fiscal information: revenues and expenditures data for elementary and secondary education, as

well as federal aid to education under selected programs.

Data items that were not reported by the state or otherwise not available are indicated by the special character . Since the U.S. Profile displays aggregate information for the 50 states plus the District of Columbia, some of the data items include estimates for the non responding state(s). Where it was not advisable or

feasible to estimate, the character is used. For percentages, details may not add to 100 percent because of

rounding.

SOURCES NFORMATION

SOURCES OF INFORMATION

The major source of information used in this report was the Common Core of Data (CCD) survey for the

1987/88 and 1996/97 school years and 1988 and 1997 fiscal years. CCD is a comprehensive, annual,

national statistical database of all public elementary and secondary schools and school districts, which contains data that are designed to be comparable across all states. CCD is the Department of Education's primary database on public elementary and secondary education in the United States.

Most of the data are obtained from administrative records maintained by the state education agencies. Statistical information is collected annually from public elementary and secondary schools (approximately

90,000 in 1996/97), public school districts (over 16,000 in 1996/97) and the 50 states, the District of

Columbia, Department of Defense Schools, and the outlying areas. CCD comprises a set of five surveys sent

to state education departments:

Public School Universe

information on all public elementary and secondary schools in operation during the school year

including school location and type; enrollment by grade and student characteristics; and number of classroom teachers.

Local Education Agency (LEA) Universe

information for the universe of LEAs including name and address, location and organizational

type, metropolitan status, number of students, and number of high school completers and dropouts in the previous year.

State Aggregate Nonfiscal Report

statewide totals of the numbers of students by grade, number of teachers, administrators, and

other education staff, and numbers of high school graduates and completers.l O State Aggregate Fiscal Report

detailed data aggregated to the state level including average daily attendance, school district

revenues by source and expenditures by function and object.l

School District Fiscal Data (F-33)

detailed data by school district, including enrollment, revenues by source and expenditures by

function and object.

Additional information about the Common Core of Data including publications and data products may be

obtained at http://nces.ed.govIccd.

Other sources used in this report included information from NCES Schools and Staffing Survey, various issues

of NCES Digest of Education Statistics, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 1996

Mathematics and Science Report Card for the Nation and the States, and several reports from the Bureau of the

Census and Bureau of Economic Analysis. A detailed bibliographic reference list identifying the source of

each data item is presented in the last section of this report.

1. NCES imputes and adjusts some reported values in order to create a file that more accurately reflects students and staff counts

in the nonfiscal report (and revenues and expenditures for each item in the fiscal report) and improves comparability between

states. Imputations and adjustments are implemented to correct for item non response only and performed on the 50 states and

the District of Columbia only. In the case of the State Aggregate Nonfiscal Report, no adjustments or imputations are made to

high school graduates or other high school completer categories (except for New Jersey which in school year 1996/97 did not

report any data). No adjustments or imputations are performed on race-ethnicity data for any state.

General Characteristics

Public school membership: The unduplicated count of students on the roll of the school or district (excluding any formally enrolled students who withdrew from school) taken on the school

day closest to October 1.

Public school: An institution that provides elementary/secondary educational services; has one

or more grade groupings (prekindergarten through 12) or is ungraded; has one or more teachers to

give instruction; is located in one or more buildings; has an assigned administrator; receives public

funds as its primary support; and is operated by an education agency.

Teachers: Professional school staff members who instruct students and maintain daily student

attendance records for prekindergarten, kindergarten, grades 1 through 12, and ungraded classes.

Those who teach in an environment other than a classroom setting are also included.

Land area: The total land area within the geographic boundaries of the state or other area,

expressed in square miles.

Total population: Estimate of the resident population of the state (including Armed Forces

residing in the state) as of July 1 preceding the beginning of the school year. These estimates are

used to compute per capita statistics.

State expenditure for elementary/secondary education: Includes all amounts of

money for elementary and secondary education paid out by state government, excluding Federal

funds and amounts of money paid out by local jurisdictions.

Gross State Product per school-age child: The total market value of goods and services

produced by the labor and property located in a state in 1988 and 1996 divided by the 1988 and

1996 Census Data for resident persons ages 5 to 17 years, respectively.

Agency/school information

Education agency: Governmental agency administratively responsible for providing public elementary and secondary instruction or educational support services.

regular school district: An education agency responsible for providing free public elementary

and secondary education for school-age children residing within its jurisdiction. The agency

sometimes includes special and vocational education in a comprehensive educational setting.

regional service agency: An education agency that provides administrative services or special services to other public elementary and secondary school districts or other agencies.

state-operated agency: Any state agency that operates elementary, secondary, or combined

education programs (such as state schools for the blind or deaf).

federally operated and other types: Any federal agency that operates elementary, secondary, or combined education programs (such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs), or an education

agency that cannot be appropriately classified using any of the agency types.

Number of schools per education agency: Each education agency, of whatever type, was

assigned to one of six categories, based on the number of schools associated with the agency. The

number of agencies in each category was then computed.

Regular school districts by student membership size: Each regular school district was

assigned to one of six categories, based on the total membership reported for the district record,

and the number of districts in each category computed. These categories (excluding Size not

reported) were defined in such a way that the national totals in each class are approximately the

same. The category Size not reported includes districts that contract with other agencies to provide

services for some students rather than operate schools directly. In these cases, student membership

is not reported for the receiving district in order to avoid duplication of membership counts. Conversely, in cases where all services are provided by a contracting district, no membership is

reported for the sending district.

Type of school: Category assigned to public schools based on focus of the educational services

provided.

regular school: A public school that does not focus primarily on vocational, special education,

or alternative education.

impaired, orthopedically impaired, mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, multihandicapped,

visually handicapped, deaf and blind. The school also has adapted curriculum, materials, or

instruction for students served.

vocational school: A public school that focuses primarily on vocational education and provides education in one or more semiskilled or.,tedi nical occupations.

STATE PROFILES OF PUBLIC ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION, 1996-97 12
TERMINOLOGY

other and alternative school: A public school that addresses needs of students that typically

cannot be met in a regular school, provides nontraditional education or does not specifically fall

into the categories of regular, special education, or vocational school (but may be an adjunct to

a regular school). o Locale of school: Category assigned to public schools based on the population characteristics of

the geographic area in which the school is located. These data are not available for the 1987-88

school year.

city: A city with a population of 50,000 or more that is a central city of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).

urban fringe: An area within an MSA of a central city and defined as urban by the Bureau of

the Census but which does not qualify as a city.

large town: A town not within an MSA, having a population of 25,000 or more.

small town: A town not within an MSA, having a population between 2,500 and 24,999.

rural: Not in any of the above categories. o Public schools by size of student membership: Each school for which membership was

reported was assigned to one of five categories, based on the total membership reported for the

school. The number of schools in each category was then computed. These categories were defined

in such a way that the national totals in each class are approximately the same. O Grade span category: Based on the lowest and highest grade for which membership was

reported in each school, the school's grade span was determined. Schools whose low and high

grade were within one of the six designated ranges were assigned to the appropriate category; if a

school had some other combination of low and high grade, it was assigned to Other grades. Schools

that only reported membership in Ungraded were assigned to that category, and schools with no

membership reported were assigned to Not reported. The total number of schools within each category was then computed.

Student information

Prekindergarten membership: Students who are enrolled in a group or class that is part of a

public school program taught during the year or years preceding kindergarten. O Ungraded membership: Students who are assigned to classes or programs that do not have

standard grade designations. o Racial/ethnic category: Used to describe groups to which individuals belong in the eyes of the

community. Categories do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origin. A person

may be counted in only one group. o Students in special education with IEPs: Number of students having a written Individualized Educational Program (IEP) for students with disabilities designated as special education students under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B. It is shown in this

report as the percentage of the state's total membership, if reported by 70 percent or more schools

or agencies.2

2. When information is missing for one or more states, as is the case with counts of students with IEPs, free-lunch eligibles, and

dropouts, NCES does not calculate national totals. (A state is considered to have missing data if an item is reported by less than

70 percent of the schools or agencies.) 14

STATE PROFILES OF PUBLIC ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION, 1996-97 5
TERMINOLOGY

o Free-lunch eligibility: The number of students in a school who apply for and are eligible to

receive free lunch under the National School Lunch Act. It is shown in this report as the percentage of the state's total membership, if reported by 70 percent or more schools or agencies. To avoid

identifying any particular student as eligible for free lunch, the CCD adjusted the maximum number reported to be no more than 95 percent of a school's total membership.3

O School-age population below poverty level: Estimates of the resident population of the

state ages 5 to 17 below poverty level, compiled from information collected in the March 1997

Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted by the Census Bureau. O High school completers: These counts include all individuals who received diplomas or other

formal indications of completion of high school during the immediately preceding school year and

subsequent summer.

regular diploma: Total count of graduates who received a high school diploma in the regular

day or summer school.

other diploma: Total count of graduates who received a high school diploma in programs

other than the regular day or summer school (e.g., adult evening programs).

high school equivalency: Total count of individuals 19 years or younger who received a general educational development (GED) or high school equivalency certificate.

other completers: Total count of students who received certificates or other designations of

high school completion, attendance, or training. Includes special education with individualized

education program completers; excludes regular diploma or GED recipients. o High school dropouts: These counts include all 9th through 12th grade students enrolled at

any time during the previous year who are not enrolled at the beginning of the current year, and

have not graduated or transferred to another school. In this report, it is shown as the percentage of

the state's 9-12th grade membership, with ungraded students prorated in, if reported by 70 percent

or more schools or agencies.4

O Assessment scores: Results from the NAEP 1996 mathematics and science assessment.

Achievement levels: The cutpoints on the NAEP scale represent what students know and can

do at one level that differentiates them from students performing at lower levels:

basic level denotes partial mastery of the knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at a given grade.

proficient level represents solid academic performance.

advanced level represents superior performance.

For the mathematics 500-point NAEP scale, the grade 4 cutpoints were 214, 249, and 282 for

basic, proficient, and advanced levels, respectively. For grade 8 the three levels were defined by

262, 299, and 333. For the science assessment of 8th grade students (0-300 scale), the basic, proficient, and advanced achievement levels are defined by the scores 143, 170, and 207, respectively.
