CA School Districts for 2013-2014 as supplied by the US Census.

School Districts are geographic entities and single purpose governmental units that operate schools and provide public educational services at the local level. The Census Bureau collects school district boundaries to develop annual estimates of children in poverty to help the U.S. Department of Education determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to states and school districts. NCES also uses the school district boundaries to develop a broad collection of district-level demographic estimates from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The Census Bureau updates school district boundaries, names, local education agency codes, grade ranges, and school district levels biennially based on information provided by state education officials.

This layer serves as the authoritative geographic data source for all school district area boundaries in California. School districts are single purpose governmental units that operate schools and provide public educational services to residents within geographically defined areas. Agencies considered school districts that do not use geographically defined service areas to determine enrollment are excluded from this data set. In order to view districts represented as point locations, please see the "California School District Offices" layer. The school districts in this layer are enriched with additional district-level attribute information from the California Department of Education's data collections. These data elements add meaningful statistical and descriptive information that can be visualized and analyzed on a map and used to advance education research or inform decision making.School districts are categorized as either elementary (primary), high (secondary) or unified based on the general grade range of the schools operated by the district. Elementary school districts provide education to the lower grade/age levels and the high school districts provide education to the upper grade/age levels while unified school districts provide education to all grade/age levels in their service areas. Boundaries for the elementary, high and unified school district layers are combined into a single file. The resulting composite layer includes areas of overlapping boundaries since elementary and high school districts each serve a different grade range of students within the same territory. The 'DistrictType' field can be used to filter and display districts separately by type.Boundary lines are maintained by the California Department of Education (CDE) and are effective in the 2023-24 academic year . The CDE works collaboratively with the US Census Bureau to update and maintain boundary information as part of the federal School District Review Program (SDRP). The Census Bureau uses these school district boundaries to develop annual estimates of children in poverty to help the U.S. Department of Education determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to states and school districts. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) also uses the school district boundaries to develop a broad collection of district-level demographic estimates from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS).The school district enrollment and demographic information are based on student enrollment counts collected on Fall Census Day (first Wednesday in October) in the 2023-24 academic year. These data elements are collected by the CDE through the California Longitudinal Achievement System (CALPADS) and can be accessed as publicly downloadable files from the Data & Statistics web page on the CDE website https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds.

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. School Districts are single-purpose administrative units within which local officials provide public educational services for the area's residents. The Census Bureau obtains the boundaries, names, local education agency codes, grade ranges, and school district levels for school districts from State officials for the primary purpose of providing the U.S. Department of Education with estimates of the number of children in poverty within each school district. This information serves as the basis for the Department of Education to determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to States and school districts. TIGER/Line Shapefiles include separate shapefiles for elementary, secondary and unified school districts. The school district boundaries are those in effect for the 2022-2023 school year, i.e., in operation as of January 1, 2023.

The elementary school district boundaries and district name for Nevada County.

Layer includes school name and address, County-District-School code (CDS) from the California Department of Education (CDE), and county and district (public only) in which each school is located. Other variables include TYPE (public/private), subtype, grade span, and 10 years of employment and enrollment numbers where available (2012/2013 school year to 2021-2022). New in this version is the notation in the STATUS field for schools that are primarily or exclusively virtual. One school - Walt Tyler Elementary in El Dorado County - burned in the 2021 Caldor Fire. CDE lists the school as "active" with employees and students accounted for at the physical location, so it is listed the same here.Unlike previous versions, this database does not include schools that have closed. Closed schools (such as we had them to this version) are available by request, but users should keep in mind that some campuses have hosted multiple schools over the years this database has been produced. There could and sometimes are multiple closed schools on a given campus. All attempts have been made to include all K-12 schools in this database, but especially with private schools, which are not held to the same reporting standards as public schools, some may have been missed.*12/11/23 Update: Added Title by year designation and SACOG Environmental Justice Boundary

Consolidated Infant, Pre-K, and K-14 education points for facilities both public and private.

Point features are intended to be located within a building footprint relevant to each site, so that they can be used to select an appropriate building footprint or parcel as seed for any required buffering.

Buffering may be applied when limiting possible sites for certain businesses or specific individuals, whenever these must remain a minimum distance from school locations.

Data current as of December 8, 2015

September 2020The Schools 2019 layer is an annual update of public and private K-12 schools in the SACOG region. Public school data, including employment and enrollment, is compiled from the California Department of Education (CDE) and from local school districts. Private school data is compiled from CDE, from the Diocese of Sacramento, and private school websites. Schools with fewer than 6 students are not required to report data so those whose enrollment fluctuates annually around the 6-student mark will have incomplete data across years. Likewise, some larger schools have not been found in every report and may not appear in some years. Effort has been made to maintain in the list those school campuses that have been closed as they are important in the historical context of the data, but also retain the possibility of re-opening as another school, often charter or private. In the case of a new school opening on the campus of a closed school, a new point is now added to show the new school. In the early years of the dataset, the name was simply changed and the old name was only noted in the "Notes" field.Next update: September 2021
