This web map displays the California Department of Education's (CDE) core set of geographic data layers. This content represents the authoritative source for all statewide public school site locations and school district service areas boundaries for the 2018-19 academic year. The map also includes school and district layers enriched with student demographic and performance 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.

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 2022-23 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 2022-23 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://res1wwwd-o-tcded-o-tcad-o-tgov.vcapture.xyz/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) System (MTS). The MTS 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. Unified School Districts are 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 aged 5 through 17 in families 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. The TIGER/Line shapefiles include separate shapefiles for elementary, secondary, and unified school districts, and school district administrative areas. The school district boundaries are those in effect for the 2023-2024 school year, i.e., in operation as of January 1, 2024.

Unified School Districts with district and trustee area boundaries, within the extent of Alameda County; boundaries have been updated to show changes for Oakland 2013 redistricting and new Dublin USD Trustee Areas in 2018. Boundaries represent voting districts (i.e., district designation for each address) and therefore may align with parcel boundaries in cases where parcels (and sometimes residences) are divided by the true city/district boundary.

This layer serves as the authoritative geographic data source for all school district office locations in California. District office location and attribute information are derived from the California Department of Education's (CDE) public schools and districts directory and district enrollment file.Since the school districts in this layer are represented as point locations instead of service areas, this layer includes additional district types that do not use geographically defined service areas to determine enrollment such as county offices of education, state special schools and State Board of Education (SBE) charter schools. In order to view districts represented as service area polygons, please see the "California School District Areas" layer.The school district enrollment and demographic information are based on the 2022-23 academic year student enrollment counts collected on Fall Census Day in 2022 (first Wednesday in October). 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.District records are assigned X, Y coordinates using a quality controlled geocoding and validation process to optimize positional accuracy. Most district offices are mapped to the office structure or centroid of the district office property parcel and are individually verified using aerial imagery or assessor's parcels databases. Districts are assigned various geographic area values based on their mapped locations including state and federal legislative district identifiers and National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) locale codes.

Updated April 2018Elementary school districts in the six-county SACOG region. Includes district Academic Performance Index (API) scores for 2009-2012 as reported by the California Department of Education's (CDE) Dataquest site. Gaps in coverage may be filled by secondary or unified districts, or may be unpopulated.Updates occur as changes are made, which is infrequent.

The School Districts dataset contains the spatial representation (polygon) of the current extent of the administrative areas defined under section 176(1) of the School Act for the purposes of preservation and promotion of the fundamental principle of local autonomy and control of public education at the public and governmental levels through locally elected school boards.

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

This layer serves as the authoritative geographic data source for California's K-12 public school locations during the 2024-25 academic year. Schools are mapped as point locations and assigned coordinates based on the physical address of the school facility. The school records are enriched with additional demographic and performance variables from the California Department of Education's data collections. These data elements can be visualized and examined geographically to uncover patterns, solve problems and inform education policy decisions.The schools in this file represent a subset of all records contained in the CDE's public school directory database. This subset is restricted to TK-12 public schools that were open in October 2024 to coincide with the official 2024-25 student enrollment counts collected on Fall Census Day in 2024 (first Wednesday in October). This layer also excludes nonpublic nonsectarian schools and district office schools.The CDE's California School Directory provides school location other basic school characteristics found in the layer's attribute table. The school enrollment, demographic and program data 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. Schools are assigned X, Y coordinates using a quality controlled geocoding and validation process to optimize positional accuracy. Most schools are mapped to the school structure or centroid of the school property parcel and are individually verified using aerial imagery or assessor's parcels databases. Schools are assigned various geographic area values based on their mapped locations including state and federal legislative district identifiers and National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) locale codes.
