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 web map of California legislative districts includes the geographically defined territories used for representation in the California State Assembly, California State Senate and the US House of Representatives from California. These three boundary layers are derived from the US Census Bureau's 2018 TIGER/Line database and are designed to overlay with the California Department of Education’s (CDE) education related GIS content.The 80 California State Assembly Districts represent the geographically defined territories used for electing members to the lower (house) chamber of the California State Legislature. The current state assembly boundaries were determined by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission following the completion of the 2010 United States Census and will remain valid until 2020.The 40 state senate districts represent the geographically defined territories used for electing members to the upper (senate) chamber of the California State Legislature. The current state senate boundaries were determined by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission following the completion of the 2010 United States Census and will remain valid until 2020.The 53 congressional districts within the State of California represent the geographically defined territories used for electing members to the U.S. House of Representatives. The current U.S. Congressional boundaries in California were determined by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission following the completion of the 2010 United States Census and will remain valid until 2020

This spreadsheet identifies the legislative districts assigned to California's K-12 public school sites and school district areas. Legislative districts assignments for schools are based on the geographic intersection of the legislative territories and school facility locations. Legislative district assignments for school districts are determined by overlaying, or combining, the geographic territories of both areas and looking at where they intersect.The schools in this report include all K-12 public schools from the California Department of Education's (CDE) public school directory that were open and had students enrolled on Fall Census Day in 2022 (first Wednesday in October). The school district boundaries are current as of Fall 2023. The state assembly, state senate and US congressional boundaries were approved by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission in 2021 following the completion of the 2020 United States Census and will be valid until the next decennial US Census in 2030.

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.

The California School Campus Database (CSCD) is now available for all public schools and colleges/universities in California.CSCD is a GIS data set that contains detailed outlines of the lands used by public schools for educational purposes. It includes campus boundaries of schools with kindergarten through 12th grade instruction, as well as colleges, universities, and public community colleges. Each is accurately mapped at the assessor parcel level. CSCD is the first statewide database of this information and is available for use without restriction.PURPOSEWhile data is available from the California Department of Education (CDE) at a point level, the data is simplified and often inaccurate.CSCD defines the entire school campus of all public schools to allow spatial analysis, including the full extent of lands used for public education in California. CSCD is suitable for a wide range of planning, assessment, analysis, and display purposes.The lands in CSCD are defined by the parcels owned, rented, leased, or used by a public California school district for the primary purpose of educating youth. CSCD provides vetted polygons representing each public school in the state.Data is also provided for community colleges and university lands as of the 2018 release.CSCD is suitable for a wide range of planning, assessment, analysis, and display purposes. It should not be used as the basis for official regulatory, legal, or other such governmental actions unless reviewed by the user and deemed appropriate for their use. See the user manual for more information.Link to California School Campus Database.

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

Data includes: board and school information, grade 3 and 6 EQAO student achievements for reading, writing and mathematics, and grade 9 mathematics EQAO and OSSLT. Data excludes private schools, Education and Community Partnership Programs (ECPP), summer, night and continuing education schools.

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.

School/school board and school authority contact information are updated and maintained by school boards and may not be the most current version. For the most recent information please visit: https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/ontario-public-school-contact-information.

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 dataset tracks annual diversity score from 1990 to 2023 for A. M. Thomas Middle School vs. California and Lost Hills Union Elementary School District

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 2023-24 academic year student enrollment counts collected on Fall Census Day in 2023 (first Wednesday in October). These data elements are collected by the CDE through the California Longitudinal Achievement System (CALPADS) and can be accessed as a downloadable file from the Census Day Enrollment File 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.
