Explore Federal K-12 Datasets

Federal education data is collected across various agencies and administrative programs, making it difficult to see how the pieces fit together. The Atlas organizes these collections into a clear, unified guide. From school-level characteristics in the Common Core of Data (CCD) to rapid-response insights in the School Pulse Panel (SPP) and equity metrics in the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), you can explore detailed profiles that explain why each dataset is collected, how they connect to other datasets, and why they are vital to K-12 policy.
