Data are for the 2002–03 school year. Data are reported for the student membership and staff in public schools and school districts in the United States and jurisdictions (Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Defense schools, Puerto Rico, and four outlying areas: American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Marianas, and the Virgin Islands). This report includes graduate and dropout counts for the 2001–02 school year, and revenues and expenditures for fiscal year (FY) 2001. Highlights of the report include the following: • The 100 largest public school districts, representing less than 1 percent (0.6 percent) of all school districts in the United States and jurisdictions, were responsible for the education of 23 percent of all public school students (table A). • The 100 largest districts employed 22 percent of the United States and jurisdictions’ public school teachers, and contained 17 percent of all public schools and 20 percent of public high school completers (table A). • The 100 largest school districts had larger average school enrollments than all school districts as a whole (an average of 695 students compared to 502, respectively). In addition to larger school sizes, the 100 largest school districts also had a higher median pupil/teacher ratio, 16.9 compared to 15.9 for the average school district (table A). • Three states, California, Florida, and Texas, accounted for 40 percent of the 100 largest school districts (appendix C). • The percentage of students who were other than White, non-Hispanic in the 100 largest school districts was 69 percent, compared to 42 percent in all school districts (table B). • Among schools that reported free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, 46 percent of the students in the 100 largest school districts were eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, compared to 37 percent of all students in reporting states and jurisdictions (table B). • In FY 2002, current expenditures per pupil in the 100 largest school districts ranged from a low of $3,563 in the Puerto Rico Department of Education to a high of $14,012 in the Boston School District, Massachusetts (table 17). This is the 14th and current publication in the series of reports on the largest school districts in the nation.

In this report, the term “United States and jurisdictions” refers to these entities. This is different from most National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports, which include only the 50 states and the District of Columbia in the totals. Almost one in four public school students in the United States and jurisdictions is served by one of the 100 largest school districts (table A). These districts are distinguished from all school districts by characteristics other than the size of their membership, such as average school size, median pupil/teacher ratio, and minority enrollment as a proportion of total enrollment (tables A and B).

Total may 3 Includes only schools where student membership was greater than zero. The median is given because it is relatively differ from other published estimates due to inclusion of outlying areas. In this report, the terms “public school districts,” “school districts,” and “regular schools districts” are used interchangeably. These districts are a subset of local education agencies (LEAs), which include regular school districts; local supervisory unions that provide management services for a group of associated school districts; regional education service agencies that typically provide school districts with research, testing, and data processing services; state and federally operated school districts; and other agencies that do not fall into these groupings (e.g., charter schools reported as their own agencies). A “regular school district” is an agency responsible for providing free public education for school-age children residing within its jurisdiction. All of the 100 largest districts are regular school districts. Information about the characteristics listed above is found in the tables that accompany this report. To establish a meaningful context for the information on the 100 largest districts, 4 text tables (tables A–D) provide national data and data for the 100 largest school districts; tables A and B also include data for the 500 largest districts. Appendix A lists the 500 largest school districts with some identifying information. Appendix B is an alphabetical list of the 500 largest districts that includes their rank by membership size. Appendix C provides a count of the number of 100 largest districts by state for the states in which they reside. Appendix D provides selected data for the 100 largest school 2 districts in the 1992–93 school year for comparison with the 2002–03 school year. In all tables and Appendixes, with the exception of Appendixes B and C, districts are presented in decreasing order of membership size.

Also, states may not have reported students eligible for reduced-price meals, and a number of states reported participation instead of eligibility data which may not be strictly comparable.

Overview of the 100 Largest School Districts In the 2002–03 school year, there were 17,402 public school districts, 97,695 public schools, and approximately 49 million students in public schools in the United States and jurisdictions (table A). Additionally, there were almost 3.1 million full-time-equivalent (FTE) teachers in the 2002–03 school year and over 2.7 million high school completers in the 2001–02 school year.1 The 100 largest school districts comprised less than 1 percent of all public school districts but served 23 percent of all public elementary and secondary students. The 100 largest school districts contained 17 percent of public schools and employed 22 percent of FTE teachers. In comparison, the 500 largest school districts comprised 3 percent of all public school districts, 32 percent of public schools, and served 43 percent (21.2 million) of all public elementary and secondary students in the United States and jurisdictions. The 100 largest school districts ranged in size from 45,738 to 1,077,381 students in 2002–03 (table 1). Twenty-seven of the 100 largest districts served over 100,000 students. The largest public school district was New York City Public Schools, New York, with 1,077,381 students enrolled in 1,429 schools. Following the New York City Public Schools district was the Los Angeles Unified district, California, with 746,852 students in 677 schools. The enrollment of each of these two largest districts was greater than enrollment for any of 28 states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, any of the outlying areas, the Bureau of Indian Affairs schools, and the Department of Defense schools.2 Where Were the 100 Largest School Districts? There were 33 states and jurisdictions that had at least one of the 100 largest school districts (table 1, figure 1, and appendix C) in the 2002–03 school year. Texas had 15 districts among the 100 largest, and California and Florida had 13 each. Several other states had more than one district represented in the 100 largest: Georgia and Maryland each had 6; North Carolina had 5; Utah and Virginia each had 4; Colorado, Louisiana, and Tennessee had 3; and Arizona, _______________ 1 In the CCD, data on high school completers are collected for the previous school year, 1 year after the completions occur. For example, data for 2001–02 high school completions are collected in the 2002–03 data collection. 2 State enrollment data can be found in the following data file: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD), “State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/Secondary Education,” 2002–03, Version 1a. 3 Nevada, and Ohio each had 2. The following states each had one school district among the 100 largest: Alabama, Alaska, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin. (The District of Columbia, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico have only one school district each for their entire jurisdiction.) Figure 1. The 100 largest school districts in the United States and jurisdictions: School year 2002–03 SOURCE: Data reported by states to U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD), “Local Education Agency Universe Survey,” 2002–03, Version 1a. More than half of the 100 largest school districts were located in coastal and gulf coast states (see appendix C for the number of the 100 largest districts by state). These school districts also tended to be in cities and counties with large populations, with administrative offices typically located in large cities and their environs. Many of the districts were in states where the school districts have the same boundaries as counties. However, caution should be used when interpreting the areas that these school districts cover. School district boundaries are not necessarily the same as county, city, or town boundaries. How Did These Districts Compare With All School Districts? General Characteristics In the 2002–03 school year, each of the 100 largest school districts had at least 45,738 students, whereas 73 percent of all regular school districts had fewer than 2,500 students (tables C and 1). However, these smaller districts served only 17 percent of all students; 83 percent of students were enrolled in districts of 2,500 or more students. The average school district in the United States and jurisdictions had 5.6 schools; in comparison, the 100 largest school districts averaged 162.7 schools per district (derived from table A). Two of the three largest districts—New York City Public Schools, New York and the Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico—each had over 1,400 schools (table 1). 4 Table C.  Number and percentage of districts and students by district membership size for regular public elementary and Table C.  secondary school districts in the United States and jurisdictions: School year 2002–03 District size (number of Cumulative Cumulative students) Number Percentage percentage Number Percentage percentage Districts Students Total 14,470 100.0 † 48,021,465 100.0 † † † 100,000 or more 27 0.2 0.2 6,664,001 13.9 13.9 27 6,664,001 25,000 to 99,999 222 1.5 1.7 9,623,306 20.0 33.9 249 16,287,307 10,000 to 24,999 590 4.1 5.8 9,003,459 18.7 52.7 839 25,290,766 7,500 to 9,999 349 2.4 8.2 3,007,362 6.3 58.9 1,188 28,298,128 5,000 to 7,499 713 4.9 13.1 4,341,281 9.0 68.0 1,901 32,639,409 2,500 to 4,999 2,033 14.0 27.2 7,150,205 14.9 82.9 3,934 39,789,614 2,000 to 2,499 811 5.6 32.8 1,814,341 3.8 86.6 4,745 41,603,955 1,500 to 1,999 1,048 7.2 40.0 1,817,886 3.8 90.4 5,793 43,421,841 1,000 to 1,499 1,552 10.7 50.8 1,914,962 4.0 94.4 7,345 45,336,803 800 to 999 772 5.3 56.1 695,216 1.4 95.9 8,117 46,032,019 600 to 799 973 6.7 62.8 679,854 1.4 97.3 9,090 46,711,873 450 to 599 908 6.3 69.1 474,451 1.0 98.3 9,998 47,186,324 300 to 449 1,079 7.5 76.6 399,712 0.8 99.1 11,077 47,586,036 150 to 299 1,433 9.9 86.5 318,214 0.7 99.8 12,510 47,904,250 1 to 149 1,684 11.6 98.1 117,215 0.2 100.0 14,194 48,021,465 Zero1 64 0.4 98.5 0 0.0 100.0 14,258 48,021,465 Not Applicable 212 1.5 100.0 † † 100.0 14,258 48,021,465 † Not applicable. 1 Membership may be 0 in two situations (1) if the school district does not operate schools but pays tuition for its students to attend a neighboring district, and (2) if the district provides services for students who are accounted for in some other district(s).

SOURCE: Data reported by states to U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD), "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," 2002–03, Version 1a. Districts Students Cumulative totals School Characteristics The average school size ranges from a low of 392 pupils (Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico) to a high of 1,448 (Gwinnett County School District, Georgia) for the 100 largest school districts. The largest school in the 100 largest districts, and also the largest regular school in the United States, is the 5,410-student Belmont Senior High, Los Angeles Unified District, California (table 2).3 The 100 largest school districts had more students per school than the average school district, 695 compared with 502 students (table A). Thirteen of the 100 largest school districts had an average regular school4 size of over 1,000 students (table 2). In addition to larger school sizes, the 100 largest school districts also had a higher median5 pupil/teacher ratio, 16.9 to 1 compared with 15.9 to 1 for the average school district (table A). Among the 100 largest public school districts, Detroit City School District, Michigan, had the largest median pupil/teacher ratio at 30.3 to 1 and Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia, had the smallest at 12.1 to 1 (table 3). The pupil/teacher ratio for primary schools, 16.5 to 1, was smaller than that for high schools, 17.7 to 1. Of the 15,852 schools with membership in the 100 largest public school districts, 9,933 were primary schools, 2,426 were middle schools, 2,246 were high schools, and 1,247 had other instructional levels (table 4). The Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico, which had the most schools with membership in total, had the largest number of primary (836) and other instructional level (329) schools of the 100 largest public school districts whereas the New York City Public Schools, New York, had the largest number of middle (211) and high schools (192). _______________ 3 Data on school enrollment can be found in the following file: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data, “Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey,” 2002–03, Version 1a. 4 A regular school is a public elementary/secondary school that does not focus primarily on vocational, special, or alternative education. 5 If all the pupil/teacher ratios were listed in order of size, the midpoint on the list would be the median. 5 School staff. At the national level, 51 percent of staff were teachers,6 while in the 100 largest districts 52 percent of staff were teachers. Sixty-two of the 100 largest districts reported that 50 percent or more of their staff were teachers and two districts had less than 40 percent. City of Chicago School District, Illinois; Clark County School District, Nevada; Virginia Beach City Public Schools, Virginia; Granite School District, Utah; Greenville County School District, South Carolina; San Francisco Unified, California; and Alpine School District, Utah had 60 percent or more of all staff that were teachers. Twenty-four of the 100 largest school districts had 1 percent or more of their staff assigned as LEA administrators (table 5). Title I participation. Ninety-eight of the 100 largest school districts reported data for Title I eligible schools and programs for the 2002–03 school year. The percentage of Title I eligible schools in the 98 districts ranged from 13 in the Jordan School District, Utah, to almost 100 percent in the Philadelphia City School District, Pennsylvania. Of the 98 of the 100 largest districts that reported Title I data, an average of 53 percent of students attended a Title I eligible school (table 6). Nationally, 50 percent of all students attended a Title I eligible school.7 In the 98 of the 100 largest school districts with Title I data, the percentages of students in Title I eligible schools ranged from 8 percent in the Jordan School District, Utah, to almost 100 percent in the Aldine Independent School District, Texas. Charter schools. There were 523 charter schools administered by the 100 largest school districts in the 2002–03 school year. Almost 2 percent of students in the 100 largest school districts attended one of these charter schools. There were 2,575 charter schools attended by 1 percent of students in the 50 states and District of Columbia in 2002– 03. The largest number of charter schools (122) was in the Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico, up from 83 charter schools in 2001–028 (table 7). Student Body The 100 largest school districts were not homogeneous, and certain student characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, poverty level, and disability status, varied across the districts. Race/ethnicity. American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians/Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, and Black, non-Hispanics make up the groups other than White, non-Hispanic when assessing race at the national level. In some of the 100 largest districts, these four groups comprise the majority of student membership. The 100 largest school districts, with 23 percent of the United States and jurisdictions’ public school students, served 38 percent of the 20.5 million public school students who are other than White, non-Hispanic (derived from tables A and B).9 The 100 largest school districts enrolled this large proportion of all other than White, non-Hispanic students because 69 percent of students were groups other than White, non-Hispanic compared with 42 percent of students in all school districts (table B).10 In more than one-third (35) of the 97 districts for which data were available, students who were other than White, non-Hispanic comprised more than 75 percent of the student membership. Eight of the 10 largest school districts had other than White, non-Hispanic student membership percentage of at least this size (table 8). Even with the relatively high other than White, non-Hispanic membership in the 100 largest school districts, 34 of the 97 districts reported 50 percent or more of their students as White, non-Hispanic (table 8). Of these 34 districts, 6 reported other than White, non-Hispanic membership of less than 25 percent of their student body (table 8). In 15 of _______________ 6 Staff data can be found in Public Elementary and Secondary Students, Staff, Schools, and School Districts: School Year 2002–03 (Hoffman et al. 2005). The national staff ratio does not include the Bureau of Indian Affairs schools and the Virgin Islands. 7 National Title I school data can be found in Public Elementary and Secondary Students, Staff, Schools, and School Districts: School Year 2002–03 (Hoffman et al. 2005). 8 National charter school data can be found in Public Elementary and Secondary Students, Staff, Schools, and School Districts: School Year 2002–03 (Hoffman et al. 2005). Note that less than half of all charter schools are administered by a public school district. Charter school data for the 100 largest school districts in 2001–02 can be found in Characteristics of the 100 Largest Public Elementary and Secondary School Districts in the United States: 2001–02 (Sable and Young 2003). 9 For the 100 largest school districts, the numbers of students in different racial/ethnic categories are reported at the school level and are aggregated up to the district level. The total number of students other than White, non-Hispanic in the 100 largest school districts is 7,611,750. The figure for the United States and jurisdictions is from the state-level survey and can be found in Public Elementary and Secondary Students, Staff, Schools, and School Districts: School Year 2002–03 (Hoffman et al. 2005). 10 See table C for the percentages of districts for which data were reported. 6 the 100 largest districts, half or more of the membership is Black, non-Hispanic. Eighteen districts report that the majority of students are Hispanic; 4 of these are among the 10 largest districts. In Hawaii, a one district state, and the San Francisco Unified District, California, the majority of students are Asian/Pacific Islander (table 9). Data from the 2000 Decennial Census are presented in tables 10 and 11. These data provide racial and ethnic breakouts of the population less than 18 years old residing within the school district boundaries for the 100 largest school districts. The information is presented in this report for comparison purposes; see the descriptions under the Basic Tables heading for more detailed analysis. Free and reduced-price lunch participation. The 100 largest school districts had a disproportionate percentage of students eligible for the free and reduced-price lunch program relative to all public school districts. Among schools that reported free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, 46 percent of students in the 100 largest school districts were eligible, compared with 37 percent of students in all districts (table B). Among the 95 of the 100 largest school districts that reported data on free and reduced-price lunch, 41 districts reported over 50 percent of their students eligible for the free and reduced-price lunch program (table 9). Students with disabilities. Approximately 1.4 million students had Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in the 100 largest school districts. They made up 13 percent of all students in these districts, the same percentage as for the United States and jurisdictions as a whole.11 In the largest school district, New York City Public Schools, New York, 14 percent, or 144,040 students, had IEPs (table 12). About 3 percent of the schools in the 100 largest school districts were special education schools (derived from table 13). English Language Learner (ELL) and migrant students. The 100 largest school districts served almost 1.6 million English Language Learner (ELL) students in 2002–03, who comprised 14 percent of all students in these districts. Data on the number of migrant students enrolled in the previous school year were available for 92 of the 100 largest public school districts, and ranged from 0 to 11,390 students (Fresno Unified, California) (table 14). High school dropouts. In the 2001–02 school year, 82 of the 100 largest school districts were in states that could report dropouts using the NCES definition (see Appendix A). The 9th- through 12th-grade dropout rate in those 82 districts ranged from 1 to 24 percent (table 15). High school completers. The number of 2001–02 high school completers in the 100 largest school districts ranged from 1,617(Oakland Unified, California) to 39,539 (New York City Public Schools, New York) (table 16). Revenues and Expenditures for Fiscal Year 2002 In the 2001–02 school year (FY 2002), almost $95 billion were received for public elementary and secondary education by the 100 largest school districts. Of the $95 billion in revenue to the 100 largest school districts, 29 percent ($28 billion) was received by the 5 largest school districts (New York City Public Schools, New York; Los Angeles Unified, California; Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico; City of Chicago School District, Illinois; and Dade County School District, Florida) (table 17). Across the 100 largest school districts, state dollars accounted for 48 percent of revenues, local sources for 43 percent, and federal sources for 10 percent (table 18). Revenues from the federal government received by the 100 largest school districts comprised between 2 percent (Plano Independent School District, Texas, and Howard County Public School System, Maryland) and 30 percent (Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico) of all revenues to the district. The two largest school districts, New York City Public Schools, New York and Los Angeles Unified, California, spent a little more than 1 out of every 5 of the current expenditure dollars expended by the 100 largest school districts (table 17). The percentage of total current expenditures spent on instruction ranged from 50 percent (District of Columbia Public Schools, District of Columbia) to 75 percent (New York City Public Schools, New York) in the 100 largest school districts (table 18). _______________ 11 IEP data for the United States and jurisdictions can be found in Public Elementary and Secondary Students, Staff, Schools, and School Districts: School Year 2002–03 (Hoffman et al. 2005). 7 Current expenditures per pupil ranged from $3,563 (Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico) to $14,012 (Boston School District, Massachusetts) in the 100 largest school districts in FY 2002 (table 17) (See the Methodology section for a definition of specific revenues and expenditures). Changes in the 100 Largest School Districts Between 1992 and 2002 While there has been considerable change in rank by size within the 100 largest school districts over time, the lists of school districts in 1992–93 and 2002–03 are similar. Only 12 of the 100 largest school districts in 1992–93 were not among the 100 largest school districts by 2002–03 (see appendix D for a list of the 100 largest school districts in 1992–93).12 The number of students in the 100 largest school districts increased by 13 percent between 1992–93 and 2002–03, the number of teachers increased by 28 percent, and the number of schools increased by 14 percent. However, while the numbers of students, teachers, and schools in the 100 largest school districts increased between these years, the proportion of the national total these numbers represent was essentially unchanged. For example, the 100 largest school districts included 23 percent of all students in both 1991–92 and 2001–02 (table D).

In 1992–93 these jurisdictions were not collected, and therefore not included. The addition of Bureau of Indian Affairs and Department of Defense schools accounts for 0.3 percent more students, 0.3 percent more teachers, and 0.4 percent more schools. SOURCE: Data reported by states to U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD), "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," 1991–92 and 2002–03, Version 1a, and "State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/Secondary Education," 1992–93, Version 1c and 2002–03, Version 1a. Percent change 1992–93 2002–03 (1992–93 to 2002–03) _______________ 12 Between 1992–93 and 2002–03, some districts changed their names. 8 Basic Tables Descriptions Table 1 presents basic data such as the number of students receiving educational services, full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers, 2001–02 completers, and number of schools for each of the 100 largest school districts. Also shown is information to fully identify each school district by its city, state, and county, since the name of the district is not always sufficient for this purpose. On this and all of the other tables, the districts are shown in descending order of size (students in membership as of October 2002). Since the districts are displayed by the number of students, it is easy to note differences in the numbers of teachers, high school completers, and schools as they relate to districts of similar size. For example, the Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia, though smaller in size, has more high school completers than the four districts immediately larger than it. The teacher count was derived from the school-level reports for all school districts other than District of Columbia, Massachusetts, New York, and Tennessee school districts. Teacher counts for the New York City Public Schools, New York, were imputed based on prior year data. Teacher counts for the District of Columbia Public Schools, District of Columbia, are taken from the state level. For districts in Massachusetts and Tennessee, the teacher count was taken from the agency level because teacher data were not reported at the school level (For a more detailed description of the surveys see the Methodology section.) In tables 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, and 14, only schools with student membership (or regular schools with students, as specified in table 2) are included. Table 2 provides information on school characteristics in the 100 largest school districts by displaying district size (students in membership) at different percentile levels, as well as mean school size for each district (computed using regular schools having membership). For example, in New York City Public Schools, New York, the table shows that the smallest 25 percent of schools have student memberships of 530 or fewer, while the largest 25 percent have student memberships of 1,107 or more. Dividing all the students in regular schools in the district by the number of such schools yields a mean, or average, size of 902.4 students. If all the regular schools in New York City Public Schools were listed by size, the school at the mid-point on the list (the median) would have 729 pupils in membership. Table 3 presents median pupil/teacher ratios for the schools in the 100 largest school districts by instructional level. Since teacher counts by school were not available for the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and the New York City Public Schools, New York, no pupil/teacher ratio could be calculated for these districts. Table 4 answers the question of how many “primary,” “middle,” and “high” schools there are in the 100 largest school districts. Since nearly every possible grade span is found among the schools in the 100 largest districts, the following four categories are used: primary (low grade of prekindergarten to 3; high grade up to 8), middle (low grade 4 to 7; high grade 4 to 9), high (low grade 7 to 12; high grade 12), and other (all other configurations, including PK, K, or 1 to 12). Table 5 presents the different types of staff in each district. Teachers represented the largest proportion of staff. Other staff, who made up 32 percent of the total, are defined in the Methodology. Table 6 reports the number and percentage of Title I eligible schools, the percentage of students in Title I eligible schools, and the percentage of students in Title I school-wide programs. The 2002–03 school year was the fifth year the CCD collected this information. Not all states were able to report this information. The percentage of Title I eligible schools in districts that provided the information varied widely, from 13 to 100 percent. Table 7 reports data items that were added in the 1998–99 school year: magnet and charter schools. Sixty-two of the largest 100 school districts were in states that reported the number of magnet schools or reported that magnet schools did not exist in that state. All districts in states that had charter schools reported the number of charter schools. Many charter schools function as their own school districts, which is why a number of the districts in this report do not report any charter schools. 9 Table 8 gives the number of schools in each district in five ranges of percent-other-than-White, non-Hispanic student membership, as well as the overall other than White, non-Hispanic percentage for each district. For example, in 8,813 schools, more than 80 percent of students were other than White, non-Hispanic. Across all of the 100 largest school districts, 69 percent of students were other than White, non-Hispanic. Table 8 deals with the number of schools in each district that have at least one student whose race is other than White, non-Hispanic, and table 9 presents the percentage of students in each district by specific racial/ethnic categories. This table illustrates that some school districts are made up of many other than White, non-Hispanic groups while others have high concentrations of one other than White, non-Hispanic group. For example, in the New York City Public Schools, New York, 38 percent of students are Hispanic and 34 percent are Black, non-Hispanic whereas the Los Angeles Unified district, California, has a much higher percentage of students who are Hispanic (72 percent) than any other group. Also shown in table 9 is the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Responses in this data category were available for 94 out of the 100 largest districts. Among these districts, the percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch under the National School Lunch Program varied greatly. Tables 10 and 11 present data from the 2000 Decennial Census. These tables include the race/ethnicity data collected on the Census “short form.” Table 9 shows the numbers, and table 10 the percent, of the population under the age of 18 by race and ethnicity. The way race/ethnicity was collected on the Decennial Census is not the same as the way in which it was collected on the 2002–03 CCD. First, the racial categories differ. Second, the Decennial Census presented two racial/ethnic questions to respondents, separating the Hispanic identification from the races. The numbers shown for the various racial categories will include both Hispanic and non-Hispanic respondents. See the Overview of Race and Hispanic Origin: 2000 (C2KBR/01-1) for more information from the Bureau of the Census’ American FactFinder website at: http://factfinder.census.gov. Table 12 presents the numbers of students assigned to the schools in the 100 largest school districts. It should be noted that students attending a “non-regular” school (i.e., special education, vocational education, other or alternative school) are often counted at their regular home school rather than the school they attend part of the day. The number and percentage of students having Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act-Part B, is also shown in table 12. Except for IEP data, the student counts presented in this table are aggregated from the school level, and may differ from counts presented elsewhere in this report that are derived from the school district level. For example, student counts from the agency-level could include students enrolled in the district but not assigned to a school (e.g., hospital/homebound students). Table 13 presents the number of schools in the 100 largest districts by type of school. All but one of the districts have specialized schools devoted to special, vocational, or alternative education. This table also includes schools that do not have students. Schools may not have students for a variety of reasons, the most common being that the school serves a student population that is “counted’ at another school. For example, students dually enrolled in a regular school and a vocational education school would be counted in only one of these schools. Table 14 reports the numbers of English Language Learners (ELL, formerly known as Limited English Proficient, LEP) and migrant students for those districts that provided this information. Ninety-two of the 100 largest school districts reported the number of migrant students enrolled in the previous year. Table 15 reports the percentage of 2001–02 school year dropouts for those districts in states that were able to report dropouts using the NCES dropout definition (see Methodology for definition). Data for 82 of the 100 largest school districts are included in this table. Table 16 presents the number of high school completers (regular diploma recipients and other high school completers) in the 100 largest school districts in 2001–02. This table also presents the 4-year high school completion rate for districts for which rates could be calculated (see Appendix A for a discussion of the calculation of 4-year high school completion rates). 10 Table 17 deals with the school district revenues and expenditures and is based on fiscal year 2002 (which is school year 2001–02) local government financial data collected by the Governments Division of the U.S. Census Bureau. It presents the amount of revenue received by source (local, state, and federal); current expenditures and those current expenditures for instruction; and current expenditures per pupil in membership for fiscal year 2002. Data for Puerto Rico were obtained from the National Public Education Financial Survey. Whereas table 17 deals with the dollar amounts of revenues and expenditures, table 18 presents the percentages of revenues by sources as well as the percentage of current expenditures spent on instruction. For example, the 100 largest school districts received 48 percent of their revenues from state sources and spent 63 percent of their current expenditures on instruction. In table 19, data are given on the number of students assigned to graded (three categories) and ungraded levels. In accounting for their students, 69 of the 100 largest districts assign all of their students to numbered grades and 31 use the “ungraded” status for some students in some settings, such as special education, vocational education, and other specialized and alternative programs. In this table, students assigned to all types of schools are counted in the grade for which they are reported. The student counts presented in this table are aggregated from the school level, and may differ from counts presented elsewhere in this report that are derived from the school district level. For example, student counts from the agency level could include students enrolled in the district but not assigned to a school (e.g., hospital/homebound students). 11 References and Related Data Sources References Hoffman L., Sable, J., Naum, J., and Gray, D.

NOTE: The universe for this table includes outlying areas, Puerto Rico, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense schools. How to read this table: Using Dade County as an example, the table shows that 25 percent of the schools have a pupil membership of 553 or less, and 25 percent have a membership of 1,291 or more. If all the regular schools in Dade County were listed by size, the school at the mid-point on the list (the median) would have 853 pupils in membership. Dividing all students in regular schools by the number of such schools yields a mean, or average, size of 1,070.6 students.

This count may differ somewhat from the count of students receiving educational services from the school district reported in table 1. 2 Total count of students is different from the total count of students on table 11 because table 19 is based on the reported students by grade and table 11 is based on the reported total student counts. NOTE: The universe for this table includes outlying areas, Puerto Rico, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense schools. SOURCE: Data reported by states to U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD), "Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey," 2002–03, Version 1a, and "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," 2002–03, Version 1a. 53 54 Methodology The primary source of the nonfiscal data for this report is the 2002–03 Common Core of Data (CCD). Information was reported to NCES by state education agencies in the spring of 2003. There are three nonfiscal CCD surveys that collect basic descriptive data on public education in the nation: the school (Public School Universe Survey), local education agency (Local Education Agency Universe Survey), and state (State Nonfiscal Survey). Fiscal data are gathered at the state level by NCES in the National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) and at the local level in the Annual Survey of Local Government Finances (F-33 series of the Census of Local Governments) conducted by the Governments Division of the Bureau of the Census. The most recent fiscal year for which data are available is 2002. National and Puerto Rico fiscal data were taken from the fiscal year 2002 NPEFS. District-level data were provided by a CCD Coordinator for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Department of Defense schools, Puerto Rico, and four outlying areas: American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, and the Virgin Islands. All of these states and jurisdictions are included in this report. If a data item is marked “Data not available” it indicates the state or jurisdiction did not report the data item on its CCD submission. Districts represented in this report are of various physical sizes and geographic locations. The District of Columbia, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are each administered as one school district. Some districts comprise a substantial portion of a state’s total student membership, while others make up only a small fraction of the state's total student membership. Data Quality CCD data are reported by State Education Agencies (SEAs) for individual schools and districts within the state, as well as the summary state information. Staff at NCES and its collection agent, the Bureau of the Census, work with the SEAs to clean and edit the data. State CCD Coordinators must correct or confirm any numbers that are challenged in the NCES edits. NCES accepts the state’s responses to these edit questions. In a limited number of situations, if the SEA does not provide NCES with the explanation or new data for an item, NCES will suppress or edit the data. Dropout data require an additional statement from the state CCD coordinator indicating that the state follows the CCD dropout definition. NCES challenges SEA data under several circumstances. Some examples of edits include numbers appearing out of range when compared to national averages, previous year’s data, or internal state reports. If a response is logically impossible, for example, reporting “Title I School status” as “not applicable” when “yes” or “no” are the only possible answers, NCES will consult with the state and replace the response with a logically acceptable alternative. As another example of an edit, if a reported total is less than the sum of the detail comprising that total, the total will be changed to the sum of the detail. Missing data at the state level are imputed to support reporting national totals for the reporting year. Item Nonresponse Some items were not available at the school district level. The following items describe nonresponse in the CCD school and agency universe surveys that affected the information presented in this report: 1. No teacher counts on the school level for the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and the New York City Public Schools, New York; 2. No data on diploma recipients for the Albuquerque Public Schools, New Mexico; 3. No data on free and reduced-price lunch eligibility for Arizona, New York, and Tennessee; 4. No dropout data for California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, and Michigan. 55 High School Completers and 4-Year High School Completion Rates This report presents counts of high school completers and 4-year high school completion rates. The term “high school completer” includes both diploma recipients and other high school completers. Thus, the CCD 4-year high school completion rate includes both diploma recipients and other high school completers. This rate does not include those receiving a GED-based equivalency credential. Diploma Recipients. These are individuals who are awarded, in a given year, a high school diploma or a diploma that recognizes some higher level of academic achievement. They can be thought of as students who meet or exceed the coursework and performance standards for high school completion established by the state or other relevant authorities. Other High School Completers. These individuals receive a certificate of attendance or some other credential in lieu of a diploma. Students awarded this credential typically meet requirements that differ from those for a high school diploma. Some states do not issue an “other high school completion” type of certificate, but award all students who complete school a diploma regardless of what academic requirements the students have met. Thus, in order to make data as comparable as possible across states, this report includes both regular and other diploma recipients in its high school 4-year completion rate. Exclusion of High School Equivalency Recipients. High school equivalency recipients are awarded a credential certifying that they have met state or district requirements for high school completion by passing an examination or completing some other performance requirement. High school equivalency diplomas are considered valid completion credentials, but high school equivalency recipients are not included in the CCD completion rate. There are two reasons for this exclusion. First, high school equivalency recipients are reported on the CCD only at the state level and cannot be disaggregated to the district level. Second, not all states report high school equivalency counts on the CCD, and the statistic is therefore not comparable across states. 4-Year High School Completion Rates. Put simply, this rate asks, “Of those students who have left school, what proportion have done so as completers?” This rate does not include those students who are still enrolled. The rate incorporates 4 years’ worth of data and thus is an estimated cohort rate. It is calculated by dividing the number of high school completers by the sum of dropouts for grades 9 through 12, respectively, in consecutive years, plus the number of completers. (For example, the 2001–02 completion rate in this report incorporates dropouts from grade 12 in 2001–02; grade 11 in 2000–01; grade 10 in 1999–2000; and grade 9 in 1998–99.) If a hypothetical graduating class began as 9th-graders in year 1, this 4-year completion rate would look like High School Completers Year 4 CCD high school completion rate = Dropouts (Grade 9 Year 1 + Grade 10 Year 2 + Grade 11 Year 3 + Grade 12 Year 4)+ High School Completers Year 4 More Information on CCD Methodology For more information on the CCD school and agency universe surveys and response rates see Public Elementary and Secondary Students, Staff, Schools, and School Districts: School Year 2002–03 (NCES 2005–314). This report discusses missing data, data quality, and presents state totals of the CCD data items from the school and agency surveys. It includes state-idiosyncratic treatment of charter and magnet schools as well as schools and districts with no student membership. 56 Definitions alternative education school—A public elementary/secondary school that: (1) addresses needs of students that typically cannot be met in a regular school, (2) provides nontraditional education, (3) serves as an adjunct to a regular school, or (4) falls outside of the categories of regular, special education, or vocational education. Bureau of Indian Affairs schools and districts—A school or district that is directly funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior. charter school—A school that provides free public elementary and/or secondary education to eligible students under a specific charter granted by the state legislature or other appropriate authority, and designated by such authority to be a charter school. Charter schools can be administered by regular school districts, state education agencies, or chartering organizations. They are reported on the CCD by the type of district that administers them. current expenditures—Funds spent for operating local public schools and local education agencies, including such operating expenses as salaries for school personnel, student transportation, school books and materials, and energy costs, but excluding capital outlay and interest on school debt. dropout—Defined by the CCD as those students who were enrolled in school at some time during the previous school year; were not enrolled at the beginning of the current school year; have not graduated from high school or completed a state- or district-approved educational program; and do not meet any of the following exclusionary conditions: transfer to another public school district, private school, or state- or district-approved education program; temporary absence due to suspension or school-approved education program; or death.

Any school that reported 100 percent eligible students is adjusted for reasons of student confidentiality. Caution should be used when interpreting these data. Four states did not report free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, and others may have included reduced price lunch students or reported participation instead of eligibility data. guidance counselors—Professional staff assigned specific duties and school time for counseling students and parents, addressing learning problems, evaluating student abilities, and assisting students on career and personal development. high school completers—Students who completed the course of public elementary and secondary education offered by the school district and who received a high school diploma, or who met other requirements of completion as defined by state law or policy during the period September 2001 through August 2002.
