Statistical Sources for Education
The Condition of Education
This website is an integrated collection of the indicators and analyses published in The Condition of Education 2000–2015. Some indicators may have been updated since they appeared in print.
Digest of Education Statistics
The primary purpose of the Digest of Education Statistics is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from prekindergarten through graduate school.
Education Data (U.S. Census Bureau)
The Census Bureau provides information on a variety of educational topics, from educational attainment and school enrollment, to school costs and financing. We collect information from individuals regarding their school experiences, and directly from schools or the government agencies that help manage them. The Census Bureau is also helping educate the public about our census and survey programs, and providing materials to educators who teach statistics.
These data are used to keep track of changing educational qualifications of the population by age, sex and race, and other characteristics, and are used by schools, governments, businesses and the public.
IPEDS: Intergrated Postsecondary Education Data System
IPEDS gathers information from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires that institutions that participate in federal student aid programs report data on enrollments, program completions, graduation rates, faculty and staff, finances, institutional prices, and student financial aid.
The National Center for Education Statistics
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) located within the U.S. Department of Education and Institute of Education Sciences, is the primary Federal entity for collecting and analyzing date related to education.
