Statistical Profiles of Public School Districts

A Report to the Governor and the Legislature on the Educational Status of the State's Schools:  Submitted April 1999

Welcome

Chapter 655 of the Laws of 1987 (which amended Section 215-a of State Education Law) requires the Board of Regents and the State Education Department to submit an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature with respect to "enrollment trends; indicators of student achievement in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and vocational courses; graduation, college attendance and employment rates;  . . . (and) information concerning teacher and administrator preparation, turnover, in-service education and performance."

The complete report is printed in two volumes. The first volume is titled New York, the State of Learning: Statewide Profile of the Educational System and is a 187 page book in six chapters, with illustrative figures, charts, and tables. The second volume is titled New York, the State of Learning: Statistical Profiles of Public School Districts and is a 313 page book containing  tabular presentations of these data by school district within each county.

Copies of the printed and bound two-volume report may be obtained upon request. Enclose check or money order in the amount of $12.50 for each set requested.

The data were derived primarily from information submitted to the State Education Department by superintendents of schools, and were selected in accordance with the specific mandates of Section 215-a of Education Law.

The information contained in this report should be helpful in assessing many educational programs, and in working to improve learning outcomes.

Finding a School District Statistical Profile

• NY State County Map
• NY State County List (in Alphabetical Order)
• NY State School District List (in Alphabetical Order) - slower via modem

To minimize unnecessary waiting, we suggest a three-step approach:

• first select a county (either click on the map or use the list of county names),
• then select a school district,
• and finally select the report you wish to see.

If you are uncertain of the county of a school or district, you may use the alphabetical list of district names to find a district.
