Education
U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2006
Section 4
Education
This section presents data primarily concerning formal education as a whole, at
various levels, and for public and private
schools. Data shown relate to the schoolage population and school enrollment,
educational attainment, education personnel, and financial aspects of education.
In addition, data are shown for charter
schools, computer usage in schools, distance education, and adult education. The
chief sources are the decennial census of
population and the Current Population
Survey (CPS), both conducted by the U.S.
Census Bureau (see text, Section 1, Population); annual, biennial, and other periodic surveys conducted by the National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a
part of the U.S. Department of Education;
and surveys conducted by the National
Education Association.
The censuses of population have included
data on school enrollment since 1840 and
on educational attainment since 1940.
The CPS has reported on school enrollment annually since 1945 and on educational attainment periodically since 1947.
The NCES is continuing the pattern of statistical studies and surveys conducted by
the U.S. Office of Education since 1870.
The annual Digest of Education Statistics
provides summary data on pupils, staff,
finances, including government expenditures, and organization at the elementary,
secondary, and higher education levels. It
is also a primary source for detailed information on federal funds for education,
projections of enrollment, graduates, and
teachers. The Condition of Education,
issued annually, presents a summary of
information on education of particular
interest to policymakers. NCES also conducts special studies periodically.
The census of governments, conducted
by the Census Bureau every 5 years (for
the years ending in ‘‘2’’ and ‘‘7’’), provides
data on school district finances and state
and local government expenditures for
education. Reports published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics contain data
relating civilian labor force experience to
educational attainment (see also Tables
580, 607, and 615 in Section 12, Labor
Force, Employment, and Earnings).
Types and sources of data—The statistics in this section are of two general
types. One type, exemplified by data from
the Census Bureau, is based on direct
interviews with individuals to obtain
information about their own and their
family members’ education. Data of this
type relate to school enrollment and level
of education attained, classified by age,
sex, and other characteristics of the population. The school enrollment statistics
reflect attendance or enrollment in any
regular school within a given period; educational attainment statistics reflect the
highest grade completed by an individual,
or beginning 1992, the highest diploma
or degree received.
Beginning in 2001, the CPS used Census
2000 population controls. From 1994 to
2000, the CPS used 1990 census population controls plus adjustment for undercount. Also the survey changed from
paper to computer-assisted technology.
For years 1981 through 1993, 1980 census population controls were used; 1971
through 1980, 1970 census population
controls had been used. These changes
had little impact on summary measures
(e.g., medians) and proportional measures
(e.g., enrollment rates); however, use of
the controls may have significant impact
on absolute numbers.
The second type, generally exemplified
by data from the NCES and the National
Education Association, is based on reports
from administrators of educational institutions and of state and local agencies
having jurisdiction over education. Data
of this type relate to enrollment, attendance, staff, and finances for the nation,
individual states, and local areas.

Unlike the NCES, the Census Bureau does
not regularly include specialized vocational, trade, business, or correspondence
schools in its surveys. The NCES includes
nursery schools and kindergartens that
are part of regular grade schools in their
enrollment figures. The Census Bureau
includes all nursery schools and kindergartens. At the higher education level, the
statistics of both agencies are concerned
with institutions granting degrees or
offering work acceptable for degreecredit, such as junior colleges.
School attendance—All states require
that children attend school. While state
laws vary as to the ages and circumstances of compulsory attendance, generally they require that formal schooling
begin by age 6 and continue to age 16.
Schools—The NCES defines a school as
‘‘a division of the school system consisting of students composing one or more
grade groups or other identifiable groups,
organized as one unit with one or more
teachers to give instruction of a defined
type, and housed in a school plant of one
or more buildings. More than one school
may be housed in one school plant, as is
the case when the elementary and secondary programs are housed in the same
school plant.’’
Regular schools are those which advance
a person toward a diploma or degree.
They include public and private nursery
schools, kindergartens, graded schools,
colleges, universities, and professional
schools.
140
Public schools are schools controlled and
supported by local, state, or federal governmental agencies; private schools are
those controlled and supported mainly by
religious organizations or by private persons or organizations.
The Census Bureau defines elementary
schools as including grades 1 through 8;
high schools as including grades 9
through 12; and colleges as including junior or community colleges, regular 4-year
colleges, and universities and graduate or
professional schools. Statistics reported
by the NCES and the National Education
Association by type of organization, such
as elementary level and secondary level,
may not be strictly comparable with those
from the Census Bureau because the
grades included at the two levels vary,
depending on the level assigned to the
middle or junior high school by the local
school systems.
School year—Except as otherwise indicated in the tables, data refer to the
school year which, for elementary and
secondary schools, generally begins in
September of the preceding year and
ends in June of the year stated. For the
most part, statistics concerning school
finances are for a 12-month period, usually July 1 to June 30. Enrollment data
generally refer to a specific point in time,
such as fall, as indicated in the tables.
Statistical reliability—For a discussion
of statistical collection, estimation, and
sampling procedures and measures of statistical reliability applicable to the Census
Bureau and the NCES data, see Appendix
III.

[For the school year. Distance education courses are for-credit classes offered to students enrolled in the district where the teacher
and student were in different locations. They could be delivered via audio, video, Internet or other computer technologies. Reasons
for districts providing these courses include providing courses not otherwise available, offering Advanced Placement courses, addressing growing populations and space limitations, reducing scheduling conflicts for students, and permitting students who failed a course
to take the course again. Excludes such things as virtual field trips, online homework, or a course delivered mainly by written correspondence. Based on the Fast Response Survey System and subject to sampling error; see source for details]
