School Locator is a configuration of Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS that can be used to locate elementary and secondary schools, view school districts and attendance zone boundaries. Government agencies and school districts can deploy School Locator to inform existing home owners and prospective home buyers when making a real estate decision.Organizations can deploy a single application that includes elementary, middle, and high schools; or deploy multiple applications (for example, Elementary School Locator, Secondary School Locator) that only include schools from one or more school attendance zone.

The 2021-2022 School Learning Modalities dataset provides weekly estimates of school learning modality (including in-person, remote, or hybrid learning) for U.S. K-12 public and independent charter school districts for the 2021-2022 school year and the Fall 2022 semester, from August 2021 – December 2022.

These data were modeled using multiple sources of input data (see below) to infer the most likely learning modality of a school district for a given week. These data should be considered district-level estimates and may not always reflect true learning modality, particularly for districts in which data are unavailable. If a district reports multiple modality types within the same week, the modality offered for the majority of those days is reflected in the weekly estimate. All school district metadata are sourced from the https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/files.asp#Fiscal:2,LevelId:5,SchoolYearId:35,Page:1">National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) for 2020-2021.

School learning modality types are defined as follows:

• In-Person: All schools within the district offer face-to-face instruction 5 days per week to all students at all available grade levels.
• Remote: Schools within the district do not offer face-to-face instruction; all learning is conducted online/remotely to all students at all available grade levels.
• Hybrid: Schools within the district offer a combination of in-person and remote learning; face-to-face instruction is offered less than 5 days per week, or only to a subset of students.

• School learning modality data provided here are model estimates using combined input data and are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. This learning modality dataset was generated by combining data from four different sources: Burbio [1], MCH Strategic Data [2], the AEI/Return to Learn Tracker [3], and state dashboards [4-20]. These data were combined using a Hidden Markov model which infers the sequence of learning modalities (In-Person, Hybrid, or Remote) for each district that is most likely to produce the modalities reported by these sources. This model was trained using data from the 2020-2021 school year. Metadata describing the location, number of schools and number of students in each district comes from NCES [21].
• You can read more about the model in the CDC MMWR: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7039e2.htm" target="_blank">COVID-19–Related School Closures and Learning Modality Changes — United States, August 1–September 17, 2021.
• The metrics listed for each school learning modality reflect totals by district and the number of enrolled students per district for which data are available. School districts represented here exclude private schools and include the following NCES subtypes:
  • Public school district that is NOT a component of a supervisory union
  • Public school district that is a component of a supervisory union
  • Independent charter district
• “BI” in the state column refers to school districts funded by the Bureau of Indian Education.

• Data from August 1, 2021 to June 24, 2022 correspond to the 2021-2022 school year. During this time frame, data from the AEI/Return to Learn Tracker and most state dashboards were not available. Inferred modalities with a probability below 0.6 were deemed inconclusive and were omitted. During the Fall 2022 semester, modalities for districts with a school closure reported by Burbio were updated to either “Remote”, if the closure spanned the entire week, or “Hybrid”, if the closure spanned 1-4 days of the week.
• Data from August 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 correspond to the 2022-2023 school year and were processed in a similar manner to data from the 2021-2022 school year.
• Data for the month of July may show “In Person” status although most school districts are effectively closed during this time for summer break. Users may wish to exclude July data from use for this reason where applicable.

At the start of the 2020 school year, some colleges chose to reopen in person while others offered primarily online classes. We find that colleges responded to financial and other incentives largely as one might expect. Larger shares of revenue attributed to in-person activities, such as dorms and dining halls, led schools to reopen in person. In general, the share of revenue due to tuition and fees had little association with reopening in-person, which is consistent with the idea that the effect of the mode of reopening on enrollment was ambiguous. However, private schools experiencing financial distress due to tuition and fees were more likely to reopen in-person while public schools were less likely. Public colleges were influenced by political pressures and the fraction of students from out of state, while private schools responded to the severity of COVID in their local community.

This dataset is an updated version of the 2008 dataset containing all public school locations in North Carolina. New schools were geocoded in ArcGIS 10 and merged with the existing dataset. Closed schools were removed,and existing attribute information was updated with current data. Some new fields were added, including designations for Pre-K, Elementary, Middle, High, and Early College schools. A review process was performed to move incorrect existing school points to new correct locations. Not all points were able to be individually reviewed,and may represent approximate school locations. This update was a collaborative effort among the Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, Institute for Transportation Research and Education, and NC Department of Public Instruction. Current school data was provided by NC DPI, using the Educational Directory and Demographical Information Exchange (EDDIE), found at http://apps.schools.nc.gov/eddie. ITRE used this dataset to conduct the update process, which included all steps of GIS analysis listed above. CGIA consulted on processing steps, lineage, and quality control to prepare the dataset for the NC OneMap Geospatial Portal.

Please cite the Census and ACS when using this data.Data Note from the Census:Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Data Processing Notes:This layer has associated layers containing the most recent ACS data available by the U.S. Census Bureau. Click here to learn more about ACS data releases and click here for the associated boundaries layer. The reason this data is 5+ years different from the most recent vintage is due to the overlapping of survey years. It is recommended by the U.S. Census Bureau to compare non-overlapping datasets.Boundaries come from the US Census TIGER geodatabases. Boundary vintage (2014) appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines clipped for cartographic purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2010 AWATER (Area Water) boundaries offered by TIGER. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters). The States layer contains 52 records - all US states, Washington D.C., and Puerto RicoCensus tracts with no population that occur in areas of water, such as oceans, are removed from this data service (Census Tracts beginning with 99).Percentages and derived counts, and associated margins of error, are calculated values (that can be identified by the "_calc_" stub in the field name), and abide by the specifications defined by the American Community Survey.Field alias names were created based on the Table Shells file available from the American Community Survey Summary File Documentation page.Negative values (e.g., -4444...) have been set to null, with the exception of -5555... which has been set to zero.

The files included on this page contain a description of the datasets that were used for this project, along with information about how access can be requested. They also contain the code repositories used to collect, prepare, and analyze the data.The abstract for the paper is below:Parents often select schools by relying on subjective assessments of quality made by other parents, which are increasingly becoming available through written reviews on school ratings websites. To identify relationships between review content and school quality, we apply recent advances in natural language processing to nearly half a million parent reviews posted for over 50,000 publicly-funded US K-12 schools on a popular ratings website. We find: i) schools in urban areas and those serving affluent families are more likely to receive reviews; ii) review language correlates with standardized test scores—which generally track race and family income—but not school effectiveness, measured by how much students improve in their test scores over time; and iii) the linguistics of reviews reveal several racial and income-based disparities in K-12 education. These findings suggest that parents who reference school reviews may be accessing, and making decisions based on, biased perspectives that reinforce achievement gaps.

How Are We Protecting Privacy?

Results for OnSIS and Statistics Canada variables are suppressed based on school population size to better protect student privacy. In order to achieve this additional level of protection, the Ministry has used a methodology that randomly rounds a percentage either up or down depending on school enrolment. In order to protect privacy, the ministry does not publicly report on data when there are fewer than 10 individuals represented.

* Percentages depicted as 0 may not always be 0 values as in certain situations the values have been randomly rounded down or there are no reported results at a school for the respective indicator. * Percentages depicted as 100 are not always 100, in certain situations the values have been randomly rounded up.

The information in the School Information Finder is the most current available to the Ministry of Education at this time, as reported by schools, school boards, EQAO and Statistics Canada. The information is updated as frequently as possible.

This information is also available on the Ministry of Education's School Information Finder website by individual school.

Descriptions for some of the data types can be found in our glossary.

Public schools have managed to maintain revenue growth despite significant shifts in funding, enrollment and parental preferences. Class sizes are shrinking every year as birth rates drop and the high school retention rate stagnates, straining revenue as smaller schools see lessened funding from governments. Public schools have contended with heightened competition from alternative education options, especially homeschooling and private institutions, as parents seek more personalized educational experiences. States have increasingly adopted school choice systems, allowing parents to use public funds or tax credits to pay for private schooling. The Trump administration has taken steps to promote these programs even more and has proposed establishing a federal voucher system. Despite heightened competition and a rigorous competitive atmosphere, strong per-pupil funding amid strong state and local budgets has buoyed public schools. Public schools' revenue has been climbing at a CAGR of 1.4% to an estimated $1.0 billion over the five years through 2025, including a rise of 0.9% in 2025 alone. Governments fully fund public schools. Support from state and local governments is especially vital, as they provide nearly nine-tenths of public schools' revenue. Despite a slight dip in 2022, strong tax income pushed up government funding for primary and secondary schools by 6.2% in 2023. These resources are enabling public schools to invest in tutoring and counseling to improve their educational outcomes and better compete with alternative primary and secondary schools. Public schools also used funds to help transition to online and augmented education and have avoided taking on further losses as shrinking class sizes leave them without pressure to continue purchasing new laptops or tablets. Still, public schools are not profitable and largely operate at a loss every year. Public schools are set to face a continued drop in enrollment as well as intensifying competition. To sustain revenue and support, schools will focus on retaining students and improving academic outcomes despite potential federal funding changes. The expansion of school choice programs will compel public schools to enhance their quality and offer additional services like after-school programs to sustain enrollment and win parental support as families gain more access to private schools. Still, charter schools will leverage their unique value propositions to remain competitive and buoy enrollment in the public school system. Public schools' revenue is set to stagnate, swelling at a CAGR of just 0.2% to an estimated $1.0 billion through the end of 2030.

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, many schools switched to distance learning in the United States. Consequently, it is estimated that Black K-12 students lost **** months of learning.

Implications of keeping schools open

School districts across the country have had to make tough decision to switch to online learning. As of February 2021, about a third of schools across the country were teaching virtually. There have been several arguments for keeping schools open, which are centered on the social, mental, and educational development of children. However, many argue that the physical health of children and their families take priority during this unprecedented time. Opponents of opening schools urge the government to find strategies that mitigate the disease and find a solution that fits the needs of all students.

Implications of keeping schools closed

If schools were to remain closed during the pandemic, there would be also other negative side effects. Because of the switch to online learning, it is estimated that if in-classroom instruction resumes by fall 2021, students will have lost about **** months of learning. Furthermore, as of February 2021, nearly a third of parents thought their child was behind where they should be when it came to their reading and writing skills.

The global cyber school market, valued at $4,983.8 million in 2025, is poised for significant growth. While the provided CAGR is missing, considering the rapid adoption of online learning technologies, particularly accelerated by recent global events, a conservative estimate of a 15% CAGR for the forecast period (2025-2033) seems reasonable. This growth is driven by increasing internet penetration, rising demand for flexible learning options, and the expanding accessibility of quality online educational resources. The market is segmented by school type (for-profit and non-profit EMOs) and application (elementary, middle, high schools, and adult education). The North American market currently holds a substantial share, fueled by robust technological infrastructure and a high adoption rate of online learning platforms. However, emerging markets in Asia-Pacific and other regions are exhibiting rapid growth potential, driven by increasing investments in digital education infrastructure and government initiatives promoting online learning. Key players like K12 Inc., Connections Academy, and Florida Virtual School (FLVS) are driving innovation and market consolidation through technological advancements, curriculum development, and strategic partnerships. The market's expansion is also influenced by the increasing demand for personalized learning experiences and the integration of advanced technologies like AI and gamification in online education. The sustained growth of the cyber school market is expected to continue through 2033, driven by factors including the growing preference for flexible and personalized learning, particularly among working adults and students in remote areas. Furthermore, the continuous improvement in online learning technologies, coupled with increased investments in educational technology infrastructure, will contribute to market expansion. While challenges remain, such as ensuring equitable access to technology and addressing concerns about the digital divide, the overall market trajectory remains positive. The diverse range of segments, from elementary schools to adult education programs, indicates a broad appeal and resilience across various demographic groups. The market's evolution will likely see further consolidation among key players and increased focus on enhancing the learner experience through advanced pedagogical approaches and technological innovations.

The 2020-2021 School Learning Modalities dataset provides weekly estimates of school learning modality (including in-person, remote, or hybrid learning) for U.S. K-12 public and independent charter school districts for the 2020-2021 school year, from August 2020 – June 2021. These data were modeled using multiple sources of input data (see below) to infer the most likely learning modality of a school district for a given week. These data should be considered district-level estimates and may not always reflect true learning modality, particularly for districts in which data are unavailable. If a district reports multiple modality types within the same week, the modality offered for the majority of those days is reflected in the weekly estimate. All school district metadata are sourced from the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) for 2020-2021. School learning modality types are defined as follows: In-Person: All schools within the district offer face-to-face instruction 5 days per week to all students at all available grade levels. Remote: Schools within the district do not offer face-to-face instruction; all learning is conducted online/remotely to all students at all available grade levels. Hybrid: Schools within the district offer a combination of in-person and remote learning; face-to-face instruction is offered less than 5 days per week, or only to a subset of students. Data Information School learning modality data provided here are model estimates using combined input data and are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. This learning modality dataset was generated by combining data from four different sources: Burbio [1], MCH Strategic Data [2], the AEI/Return to Learn Tracker [3], and state dashboards [4-20]. These data were combined using a Hidden Markov model which infers the sequence of learning modalities (In-Person, Hybrid, or Remote) for each district that is most likely to produce the modalities reported by these sources. This model was trained using data from the 2020-2021 school year. Metadata describing the _location, number of schools and number of students in each district comes from NCES [21]. You can read more about the model in the CDC MMWR: COVID-19–Related School Closures and Learning Modality Changes — United States, August 1–September 17, 2021. The metrics listed for each school learning modality reflect totals by district and the number of enrolled students per district for which data are available. School districts represented here exclude private schools and include the following NCES subtypes: Public school district that is NOT a component of a supervisory union Public school district that is a component of a supervisory union Independent charter district “BI” in the state column refers to school districts funded by the Bureau of Indian Education. Technical Notes Data from September 1, 2020 to June 25, 2021 correspond to the 2020-2021 school year. During this timeframe, all four sources of data were available. Inferred modalities with a probability below 0.75 were deemed inconclusive and were omitted. Data for the month of July may show “In Person” status although most school districts are effectively closed during this time for summer break. Users may wish to exclude July data from use for this reason where applicable. Sources K-12 School Opening Tracker. Burbio 2021; https

A list of all independent schools and special post-16 institutions for children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) approved under section 41 of the Children and Families Act 2014 in England and Wales.

You can filter the list by local authority or by type of setting.

Our guide for independent special schools and special post-16 institutions explains how to apply for approval under section 41.

Voluntary removal

Contact hns.sos@education.gov.uk to request removal from the approved list, stating your reason. We will remove your institution in the next update and notify local authorities. The published list includes all removed institutions.

Once removed, you cannot re-apply for one full academic year.

Other special schools

Details of all special schools in England are available on the https://www.get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/Search" class="govuk-link">Department for Education’s Get Information about Schools system. This includes:

• maintained schools

• non-maintained schools

The SEND guide for parents and carers explains how parents can ask for one of these schools or special post-16 institutions to be named in their child’s education, health and care plan.

In 2020, the coronavirus outbreak caused many schools to switch to online classes. According to a survey conducted by Market Opportunity Research in Romania, 42 percent of parents stated that they would be able to provide their child with a lot or quite a lot of help and support during online classes.

Point dataset of Texas regular, charter, and alternative schools, excluding disciplinary alternative ed. (DAEP), juvenile justice alternative ed. (JJAEP) institutions, and the Windham school district. This shapefile underlies the published feature service of the same name. The WEB attribute is no longer displayed on the SDL popup because it was, in some cases, causing the link to the TAPR report not to be displayed. The TAPR report is on the SDL requirements list (and WEB is not), therefore WEB had to go.When updating this data, I strongly suggest you download it, modify the downloaded copy, then use the "Overwrite" button to the right to upload your changes and over-write the entire dataset. While it is possible to edit the data using ArcGIS for desktop directly from this feature service, the process is clumsy since you cannot see all of the features at once. Even worse--once you do that, the data cannot be subsequently over-written. The data ends up being enabled for disconnected editing, which AGOL does to prevent you from stepping on someone else's potential offline edits. You then have to drop and re-publish the feature service, which means you have to then correct the URLs in the public open data site, and make sure the SDL map application can still find the data. So, in practice it turns out to be way more trouble than it is worth to directly edit via the desktop.
