The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) formally established a Farm to School Program within USDA to improve access to local foods in schools. In order to establish realistic goals with regard to increasing the availability of local foods in schools, in 2013, USDA conducted the first nationwide Farm to School Census (the Census). In 2015, USDA conducted a second Farm to School Census to measure progress towards reaching this goal.

The Farm to School Census measures USDA's progress toward improving access to local foods in schools. The web-based interface allows users to run customized searches using data from the Farm to School Census. From a total of 18,104 public, private, and charter school districts in the target list frame, 12,585 schools and school districts completed usable responses for a response rate of 70%. Visualizations display national and state level data, and explanatory notes for each portion of the survey questionnaire are provided. Users can focus their search by location/state/school district/zip code, participation level, local food purchased category (fruit, vegetables, fluid milk, other dairy, meat/poultry, eggs, seafood, plant-based protein, grains/flour, baked goods, herbs), and sources (purchased directly or through intermediary).

The 1970 Census School District Data Tape (SDDT) User's Guide was designed to complement the 1970 Census User's Guide prepared by the United States Census Bureau. The School District Data Tape (SDDT) created by the National Center for Education Statistics is a recompilation of the 1970 Census Fourth Count Population data, providing data tables for each school district in the country with 300 or more students. The preparation of the School District Data Tape required three major steps: (1) overlaying school district boundaries on census maps, (2) creating a geo-reference tape indicating the percent of each census area falling within each school district, and (3) merging the geo-reference tape with the 1970 Census Fourth Count Population Files A (Traced Areas) and B (Minor Civil Divisions). Some of the major uses of the School District Data Tape include: allocation of federal funds, desegregation planning, bilingual and minority special education planning, preschool and child care planning, facility planning, redistricting, urban-suburban-rural analyses, mobility analysis, social and economic inequality among school districts, and school children profiles. In addition to these uses, most state education agencies will find data by school district of value in allocating federal and state aid to school districts and in the evaluation of the inequality of property taxes as a basis for financing elementary and secondary education. The School District Data Tape matches, as closely as possible, the format of the Fourth Count (Population) Summary tapes supplied by the Census Bureau.

This dataset includes two sets of files: (1) the school-bg files contain the block groups assigned to each school (i.e. estimated catchment areas), as well as corresponding census tracts and enrollments, using the Census-to-School (CTS) Method described in Hashim, Laski, Kelley-Kemple (2023); (2) the school-level file contains estimates for school-level mean income and variance of income derived using publicly available data on school locations from the CCD, enrollments, and census data on the number of school aged children in each block group, and the proportion of families with school-age children in each income bin in each tract. See Hashim, Laski, Kelley-Kemple (2023) for details.

Note: This version supersedes version 1: https://doi.org/10.15482/USDA.ADC/1522654. In Fall of 2019 the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) conducted the third Farm to School Census. The 2019 Census was sent via email to 18,832 school food authorities (SFAs) including all public, private, and charter SFAs, as well as residential care institutions, participating in the National School Lunch Program. The questionnaire collected data on local food purchasing, edible school gardens, other farm to school activities and policies, and evidence of economic and nutritional impacts of participating in farm to school activities. A total of 12,634 SFAs completed usable responses to the 2019 Census. Version 2 adds the weight variable, “nrweight”, which is the Non-response weight. Processing methods and equipment used The 2019 Census was administered solely via the web. The study team cleaned the raw data to ensure the data were as correct, complete, and consistent as possible. This process involved examining the data for logical errors, contacting SFAs and consulting official records to update some implausible values, and setting the remaining implausible values to missing. The study team linked the 2019 Census data to information from the National Center of Education Statistics (NCES) Common Core of Data (CCD). Records from the CCD were used to construct a measure of urbanicity, which classifies the area in which schools are located. Study date(s) and duration Data collection occurred from September 9 to December 31, 2019. Questions asked about activities prior to, during and after SY 2018-19. The 2019 Census asked SFAs whether they currently participated in, had ever participated in or planned to participate in any of 30 farm to school activities. An SFA that participated in any of the defined activities in the 2018-19 school year received further questions. Study spatial scale (size of replicates and spatial scale of study area) Respondents to the survey included SFAs from all 50 States as well as American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington, DC. Level of true replication Unknown Sampling precision (within-replicate sampling or pseudoreplication) No sampling was involved in the collection of this data. Level of subsampling (number and repeat or within-replicate sampling) No sampling was involved in the collection of this data. Study design (before–after, control–impacts, time series, before–after-control–impacts) None – Non-experimental Description of any data manipulation, modeling, or statistical analysis undertaken Each entry in the dataset contains SFA-level responses to the Census questionnaire for SFAs that responded. This file includes information from only SFAs that clicked “Submit” on the questionnaire. (The dataset used to create the 2019 Farm to School Census Report includes additional SFAs that answered enough questions for their response to be considered usable.) In addition, the file contains constructed variables used for analytic purposes. The file does not include weights created to produce national estimates for the 2019 Farm to School Census Report. The dataset identified SFAs, but to protect individual privacy the file does not include any information for the individual who completed the questionnaire.

Abstract

In an effort to make adequate and reliable data and information available for scientific policy formulation, planning and implementation of various programs and projects in education in Ghana, the Ministry of Education (MoE) launched the Education Management Information System (EMIS) Project in January, 1997 with technical support during the first and second Phases from the Harvard University and funds from the World Bank and the Government of Ghana. As an integral part of the Free, Compulsory and Universal Basic Education (FCUBE) Program, the EMIS Project was planned to build on the already existing EMIS established in 1988 in the Ministry as part of the Education Reforms. Currently, technical support is being given by UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). Through the EMIS, a strong database has been established within the Ministry of Education. Twenty four basic school censuses have so far been conducted since 1988 and the reports on them are available in the Ministry. This is the Twelfth senior high school census in recent times. This report is presented to provide and upgrade basic data and planning parameters on enrolment, teaching staff, school facilities and examination results. This year's information on Senior High Schools has been produced at national and regional levels. The survey is presented in four sections as follows.

• Section One gives a brief introduction of the report highlighting briefly the EMIS Project.
• Section Two gives a brief summary of the analysis of the data. An attempt has been made in the analysis to compare the previous census (2011-2012) results with those of the current census. An effort has also been made to analyze the data by type of education, region and gender.
• Section Three gives a summary of tables, charts and maps for basic Schools. The arrangement of tables followed immediately by maps and charts has been used to facilitate visualization of the concepts being presented. Section Four provides detailed statistics at the national and regional levels by type of education.

The Farm to School Census is a dataset created by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) to track farm-to-school initiatives nationwide. Launched in 2013 under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, it surveys school food authorities (SFAs)—entities managing school meal programs—to assess their participation in farm-to-school activities. The dataset includes responses from over 11,800 SFAs across all 50 states and U.S. territories, detailing local food purchasing practices, types of activities (e.g., school gardens, farm partnerships, direct purchases), and challenges/opportunities faced. Its primary purpose is to monitor program growth, inform policy, and support efforts to increase local food access in schools. Key features include its comprehensive geographic coverage, quadrennial updates (with datasets available from 2013, 2015, 2019, and 2023), and interactive tools for exploring trends in local food procurement and program participation. Unique aspects include its role as the sole national data source on farm-to-school efforts and the availability of downloadable data for analysis. The census serves researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders aiming to strengthen school food systems and local agriculture economies.

This dataset contains poverty estimates at school district level for population of 5 to 17 years old based on US Census Bureau program, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE). The information regarding counties and states where these schools are located is also available in the dataset.

School enrolment data for all schools in the ACT. The number of enrolments in each school is reported in February and August each year. Non-Government school enrolments are only reported in February.

The School District Data Book (SDDB) is an education database and information system. It contains an extensive set of data on children, their households, and the nation's school systems. Under the sponsorship of the National Center for Education Statistics, the Bureau of the Census has produced special tabulation files using the basic record files of the 1990 Census of Population and Housing by school district. These tabulation files contain aggregated data describing attributes of children and households in school districts. Data are organized by seven types of tabulation records: (1) characteristics of all households, (2) characteristics of all persons, (3) characteristics of households with children, (4) characteristics of parents living with children, (5) children's household characteristics, (6) children's parents' characteristics, and (7) children's own characteristics.

The National Center for Education Statistics' (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (EDGE) program develops annually updated point locations (latitude and longitude) for public elementary and secondary schools included in the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD). The CCD program annually collects administrative and fiscal data about all public schools, school districts, and state education agencies in the United States. The data are supplied by state education agency officials and include basic directory and contact information for schools and school districts, as well as characteristics about student demographics, number of teachers, school grade span, and various other administrative conditions. CCD school and agency point locations are derived from reported information about the physical location of schools and agency administrative offices. The point locations and administrative attributes in this data layer represent the most current CCD collection. For more information about NCES school point data, see: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/SchoolLocations. For more information about these CCD attributes, as well as additional attributes not included, see: https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/files.asp.
