DESCRIPTORS Elementary Secondary Education; *Enrollment; Government Publications; High School Graduates; Minority Group Children; *Public Schools; *School Districts; School Size; *School Statistics; Special Education; *Statistical Analysis; Teacher Student Ratio ABSTRACT This publication provides basic descriptive information about the 100 largest school districts (ranked by student membership) in the United States and jurisdictions (Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Defense Schools, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands). Almost one in every four public-school students in this nation is served by one of these 100 districts. They are distinguished from the average school district by characteristics in addition to sheer size of membership, such as average and median school size, pupil/teacher ratios, number of high school graduates, number of pupils receiving special-education services, and minority enrollment as a proportion of total enrollment. Information about these characteristics is found in 18 "basic tables." For the purpose of establishing a meaningful context for the information on the 100 largest districts, four text tables precede the basic tables and provide national data and data on the 100 largest school districts. Appendix A list the 500 largest school. districts with some identifying information and basic statistical data. Appendix B is an alphabetical list of the 500 districts and their rank by membership size. Appendix C provides a count of the number of largest districts represented by state. Appendix D provides data for the 1990-91 school year. (RT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

Data are for the 2000-01 school year. It relates to student membership and staff in public schools and school districts in the United States and jurisdictions (Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Defense schools, and five outlying areas: American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands). The report includes graduate and dropout counts for the 1999-2000 school year, and revenues and expenditures for fiscal year (FY) 1999. 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 21 percent of the United States and jurisdictions' public school teachers, and accounted for 16 percent of all public schools and 19 percent of public high school completers (table A). The 100 largest school districts had larger school sizes than the average school district (708 students compared to 504). In addition to larger school sizes, the 100 largest school districts also had a higher mean pupil/teacher ratio, 17 to 1 compared to 16 to 1 for the average school district (table A). Three states, Florida, Texas, and California, accounted for 40 percent of the 100 largest school districts (appendix C). The proportion of students who were minorities in the 100 largest school districts was 69 percent, compared to 40 percent in all school districts (table C). Among schools that reported free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, 53 percent of the students in the 100 largest school districts were eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, compared to 39 percent of all students in reporting states (table C). In FY 99 (the 1998-99 school year), current expenditures per pupil in the 100 largest school districts ranged from a low of $3,298 in the Puerto Rico Department of Education to a high of $11,040 in the Boston School District, Massachusetts (table 10). While the numbers of students, teachers, and schools increased between 1990-91 and 2000-01, the proportion of students, full-time equivalent teachers and schools in the 100 largest school districts compared to the United States and jurisdictions has remained essentially unchanged (table D).

When discussing characteristics, the term "United States and jurisdictions" is used to refer to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Defense schools, and five outlying areas. This is different from most NCES reports, which only include the 50 states and the District of Columbia in U.S. totals. Almost one in every four public school students in this nation is served by one of these 100 districts (table A). They are distinguished from the average school district by characteristics in addition to sheer size of membership, such as average and median school size, pupil/teacher ratios, number of high school graduates, number of pupils receiving special education services, and minority enrollment as a proportion of total enrollment.

Information about the characteristics cited above is found in 18 "basic tables." For the purpose of establishing a meaningful context for the information on the 100 largest districts, four text tables precede the basic tables and provide national and 100 largest school district data. Following the basic tables, appendix A lists the 500 largest school districts with some identifying information and basic statistical data. Appendix B is an alphabetical list of the 500 districts and their rank by membership size. Appendix C provides a count of the number of largest districts represented by state. Appendix D provides data for the 1990-91 school year. In all basic tables and appendices, with the exception of appendices B and C, districts are presented by decreasing order of membership size. Overview of the 100 Largest Districts In the 2000-01 school year, there were 16,992 public school districts, 95,366 schools, and 48.1 million students in public education in the United States and jurisdictions. There were just over 3.0 Characteristics of the 100 Largest School Districts 1 Discussion million full-time-equivalent teachers in the 2000-01 school year and more than 2.6 million high school completers in the 1999-2000 school year. The 100 largest school districts make up less than 1 percent of all public school districts but serve 23 percent of the total number of public elementary and secondary school students (table A). The 100 largest school districts represent 16 percent of schools and employ 21 percent of all teachers. The 500 largest districts make up 3 percent of all school districts and 32 percent of schools, and serve 20.6 million students, or 43 percent of the total public elementary and secondary school student population in the United States and jurisdictions (table A). All of the 100 largest school districts have at least 45,000 students, and 25 of these school districts have over 100,000 students. The largest school district is the New York City Public Schools, with 1,066,516 students enrolled in 1,213 schools. The second largest school district is Los Angeles Unified, with 721,346 students in 659 schools (table 1). The enrollment in each of these two largest school districts each is greater than the enrollment in 26 individual states and the District of Columbia, each of the 5 outlying areas, the Bureau of Indian Affairs schools, and the Department of Defense schools.' Where Are the 100 Largest School Districts? There are 33 states and jurisdictions that have at least one of the 100 largest school districts (table 1) in the 2000-01 school year. Texas has 15 districts among the 100 largest, Florida has 13, and California has 12. Several other states have more than one district represented in the 100 largest: Georgia has 6; Maryland has 5; Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia each have 4; Ohio has 3; and Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and New York each have 2. The following states each have one school district among the 100 largest: Alabama, Alaska, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin (appendix D). (The District of Columbia, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico each have only one school district for their entire jurisdiction.) As expected, these 100 largest districts tend to be in cities and counties with large populations, with administrative offices typically located in large cities and their environs. Many of the districts are in states where the school districts have the same boundaries as counties. However, caution should be used when interpreting the areas in which these school districts cover. School district boundaries are not necessarily the same as county, city, or town boundaries. Over 70 percent of these districts are located in coastal and gulf coast states (see appendix C for the number of the 100 largest districts by state). State enrollment can be found in Public School Student, Staff, and Graduate Counts by State: School Year 2000-01 (Young 2002). 2 Characteristics of the 100 Largest School Districts Discussion Figure 1.The 100 largest school districts in the United States and jurisdictions: School year 2000-01 NOTE: The universe for this figure includes outlying areas, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense (overseas) schools. The markings on the map denote the approximate location of the school district. The District of Columbia, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are all one-district jurisdictions. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data, "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," 2000-01. How Do These Districts Compare With the Average School District? General Characteristics By definition, the 100 largest school districts are large, and when compared to the membership distribution of all school districts, they are considerably larger than most. In the 2000-01 school year, 74 percent of all regular school districts' had fewer than 2,500 students while all of the 100 largest school districts had at least 45,000 students (tables B and 1). Although 13 percent of regular school districts had 5,000 or more students, 67 percent of students (or 2 out of 3) were served by these districts (table B). 2A regular school district is an agency responsible for providing free public education for school-age children residing within its jurisdiction. This category excludes 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 "dummy" agencies).

SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data, "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," 2000-01. The average school district in the United States and jurisdictions has 5.6 schools compared to the 100 largest school districts, which average 156.2 schools per district (derived from table A). Two of the largest school districts, New York City Public Schools and the Puerto Rico Department of Education, each have over 1,200 schools (table 1). The 100 largest school districts, on average, serve considerably more students (110,509 compared to 2,829) and employ more teachers (6,413 compared to 177) per district than the average school district in the nation (derived from table A). School Characteristics The 100 largest school districts have more students per school than the average school district, 708 compared to 504 (table A). In fact, 11 of the 100 largest school districts have an average regular school' size of over 1,000 students (table 4). In addition to larger school sizes, the 100 largest school districts also have a higher mean pupil/teacher ratio, 17.2 to 1 compared to 16.0 to 1 for the average school district (table A). Across the 100 largest districts, Jordon School District, UT, has the largest median' pupil/teacher ratio at 24.7 to 1 and Minneapolis, Minnesota, has the smallest at 12.5 to 1 (table 7). High school completers. The number of high school completers (diploma recipients and other high school completers) as a percentage of all students is lower in the 100 largest school districts than in 3A regular school is a public elementary/secondary school that does not focus primarily on vocational, special, or alternative education. 4If all the pupil/teacher ratios were listed in order, the mid-point on the list would be the median. 4 Characteristics of the 100 Largest School Districts Discussion the average school district: 4.5 percent of students are graduates in the 100 largest school districts compared to 5.5 percent for the average school district (table A). School staff At the national level, 52 percent of staff were teachers' compared to 54 percent among the 100 largest districts. In 6 of the 100 largest school districts, 60 percent or more of all staff were teachers (this does not include the City of Chicago, IL or the Greenville County, SC school districts because the non-teaching staff categories may be underrepresented). Twenty of districts had 1 percent or more of their staff assigned to district administration (table 12). Title I participation. Ninety of the 100 largest school districts reported data for Title I eligible schools and programs for the 2000-01 school year. The percentage of Title I eligible schools in the 90 districts varied widely, from 8.9 percent in Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, North Carolina, to 100 percent in the Philadelphia City School District, Pennsylvania (table 13). Charter schools. There were 327 charter schools administered by the 100 largest school districts in the 2000-01 school year. The largest number of charter schools were in the Los Angeles Unified (36), Puerto Rico (36), and the District of Columbia (33) school districts (table 14). Student Body The 100 largest school districts are not homogeneous, and certain student characteristics, such as race/ethnicity, poverty level, and disability status, vary across the districts. Race/ethnicity. American Indian/Alaska Natives, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Hispanic, and Black, non-Hispanic make up the minority groups when assessing race at the national level. For some districts, these groups have becoming the majority population of students. The 100 largest districts, with 23 percent of the United States and jurisdictions' public school students, serve 39 percent of the 19.2 million minority public school students (derived from tables A and C).' In the 100 largest school districts, 68 percent of students are minority students compared to 40 percent of students total (table C). In fact, approximately one-third (33 percent) of the 96 districts where minority membership was available have over 75 percent minority student membership and 8 of the 10 largest school districts have this minority student membership percentage (table 8). Even with the relatively high minority membership in the 100 largest school districts, 34 of the 96 districts report 50 percent or more of their students as White, non-Hispanic (table 9). Of these 34 districts, 9 report minority representation of less than 25 percent of their student body (table 8). In 18 of the 100 largest districts, half or more of the membership is Black, non-Hispanic. Thirteen districts report that the majority of students are Hispanic; 3 of these are among the 5 largest districts. In Hawaii, which is one district, and the San Francisco Unified, California, the majority of the students are Asian/Pacific Islander (table 9). 5Staff data can be found in Public School Student, Staff, and Graduate Counts by State: School Year 2000-01 (Young 2002). The national staff ratio does not include Bureau of Indian Affairs schools. 6For 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 school district level. The national figure is from the state-level survey and can be found in Public School Student, Staff, and Graduate Counts by State: School Year 2000-01 (Young 2002).

Also, states may not have reported students eligible for reduced-price meals, and a number of states reported participation instead of eligibility data whichmay not be strictly comparable. See Methodology section for further description. Percentages are based on those schools that reported. NOTE: The universe for this table includes outlying areas, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense schools. Detail may not add to totals because of rounding. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data, "Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey," 2000-01, and "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," 2000-01. Data from the 2000 Decennial Census is presented in tables 17 and 18. This data provide racial and ethnic breakouts of the population less than 18 years old in the district boundaries for the 100 largest school districts. This data is presented in this report for comparison purposes; see the Basic Tables descriptions for more detailed information about this data. High school dropouts. For the 1999-2000 school year, 60 of the 100 largest school districts were in states that could report dropouts using the NCES definition of dropouts (see the Methodology section for more information). The 9th- through 12th-grade dropout rate in those 60 districts ranged from less than 1 to 26 percent. Thirty-five of the districts had a 9th- through 12th-grade dropout rate between 3 and 10 percent (table 16). Free and reduced-price lunch participation. The 100 largest school districts have 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, 53 percent of students in the 100 largest school districts are eligible, compared to 39 percent of students in all districts (table C). Among the 92 of the 100 largest school districts that reported data on free lunch, 43 districts report over 50 percent of their students eligible for the free and reduced-price lunch program (table 9). Students with disabilities. There are over 1 million students with individualized education programs (IEPs) in the 100 largest school districts. They make up 12.5 percent of all students in these districts. In the largest school district, New York City Public Schools, 14 percent, or 149,525 students, are reported to have IEPs (table 3). About 2 percent of schools in the 100 largest school districts are special education schools (table 2). Revenues and expenditures for fiscal year 1999 In the 1998-99 school year (FY 99), $350 billion were collected for public elementary and secondary education in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas; 23 percent ($79 0 6 Characteristics of the 100 Largest School Districts Discussion billion) of this revenue was collected by the 100 largest school districts.' Of the $79 billion in revenue to the 100 largest school districts, a little less than one-third ($24 billion) was received by the 5 largest school districts (New York City Public Schools, Los Angeles Unified, Puerto Rico Department of Education, City of Chicago School District, and Dade County School District) (table 10). The revenues from the federal government received by 99 of the 100 largest school districts comprised between 2 and 17 percent of all revenues to the district, the exception being the Puerto Rico Department of Education (28 percent) (table 11). The 100 largest school districts spent $68 billion (22 percent) of the $305 billion in current expenditures spent in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas in 1998-99.7 The two largest school districts, New York City Public Schools and Los Angeles Unified, spent one out of every five dollars expended by the 100 largest school districts. All but 1 of the 100 largest school districts devoted 50 percent or more of their current expenditures to instruction (the District of Columbia spent 45.3 percent). Of the 100 largest school districts, New York City Public Schools spent the greatest proportion, 72 percent, on instruction. The current expenditures per pupil were $6,508 for all districts in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, slightly higher than the $6,278 in the 100 largest school districts. Of the 100 largest school districts, 20 districts spent more than $7,000 per pupil (with Boston School District, Massachusetts, spending the most at $11,040 per pupil) (table 10). (See the Methodology section for definitions of specific revenues and expenditures.) Changes in the 100 largest school districts between 1990 and 2000 While there has been a lot of movement within the 100 largest school districts over time, between the 1990-91 and 2000-01 school years, the 100 largest districts remained very similar. Only 11 of the 100 largest districts in the 2000-01 school year were not in the 100 largest in the 1990-91 school year. Clark County School District, Nevada, was the only district to move into the 10 largest districts between these years (it moved from a rank of 14 in 1990-91 to 7 in 2000-01) (table 1 and appendix D). Clark County includes the Las Vegas metropolitan area, which was the fastest growing metropolitan area in the country between 1990 and 1998.8 The number of students in the 100 largest school districts increased by 15 percent between 1990- 91 and 2000-01, the number of teachers increased by 24 percent, and the number of schools increased by 10 percent. However, while the numbers of students, teachers, and schools in the 100 largest school districts have increased between these years, theproportion of the national total these numbers comprised was essentially unchanged. For example, the number of students in the 100 largest school districts went from 22.9 percent of all districts in 1990-91 to 23.0 percent in 2000- 01 (table D). 7National revenue and expenditure data were calculated from the state-level "National Public Education Financial Survey" (NPEFS) and can be found in Revenues and Expenditures for Public Elementary and Secondary Education: School Year 1998-99 (Johnson 2001). The percentage distribution is based on school district-level data found on the Census Bureau's Annual Survey of Government Finances (F-33 survey). Department of Defense and Bureau of Indian Affairs schools are not included in these national totals. 8U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2000, Washington, DC: 2000. 1 Characteristics of the 100 Largest School Districts 7 Discussion Table D.Number of students, teachers, and schools in the United States and jurisdictions and the 100 largest school districts: School years 1990-91 and 2000-01 1990-91' 2000-01' 100 largest districts 100 largest districts All 100 largest as a percentage of All 100 largest as a percentage of districts' districts national total districts' districts national total Students 42,095,467 9,627,140 22.9 48,067,834 11,050,902 23.0 Teachers (full-time equivalent) 2,286,589 515,175 22.5 3,002,947 641,333 21.4 Schools 86,277 14,206 16.5 95,366 15,615 16.4 'For 2000-01, includes outlying areas, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense schools.

SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for EducationStatistics, Common Core of Data, "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," 1990-91 and 2000-01, and "State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/SecondaryEducation," 1990-91 and 2000-01. 8 Characteristics of the 100 Largest School Districts Basic Tables Basic Tables Table 1 presents basic data: numbers of students receiving educational services; full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers; 1999-2000 completers; and schools for each of the 100 largest 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 decreasing order of size (students in membership as of October 2000). Since the districts are displayed by number of students, it is easy to note the differences in the numbers of teachers, graduates, and schools as they relate to districts of similar size. For example, the Philadelphia School District, Pennsylvania, though smaller in size than the Houston Independent School District, Texas, has more graduates. For all school districts other than Massachusetts and Tennessee school districts, the teacher count was derived from the school universe survey. (For a more detailed description of the surveys see the methodology section.) Table 2 presents the number of schools in the 100 largest districts, by type of school. All but six of the districts have specialized schools devoted to special, vocational, or alternative education. It can be seen from this table that districts vary widely in their use of specialized versus general schools in educating students with special needs. This table also includesschools that do not have students. Schools may not have students for a variety of reasons, the most common is that the school serves a student population that is "counted" at another school, e.g., a vocational education school. Table 3 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 are often counted at their regular home school rather than at the school they attend. 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 3. NOTE: In tables 4 through 9, only schools with student membership (or regular schools with students, as specified in table 4) are used. Table 4 provides information on school characteristics in the 100 largest school districts by displaying students (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, the table shows that the smallest 25 percent of the schools have student membership of 524 or fewer, while the largest 25 percent have student membership of 1,124 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 915.9 students. If all the regular schools in New York City were listed by size, the school at the mid-point on the list (the median) would have 750 pupils in membership. The average school size ranges from a low of 399.6 pupils (Puerto Rico Department of Education) to a high of 1,314.8 (Gwinnett County School District, Georgia) for these districts. The largest school in these districts, and also the largest school in the United States, is the 5,264student Belmont Senior High School, Los Angeles Unified School District, California. In table 5, data are given on the number of students assigned to graded (three categories) and ungraded levels. In accounting for their students, 59 of the 100 largest districts assign all of their students to numbered grades and 41 use the "ungraded" status for some students in some settings, 19 Characteristics of the 100 Largest School Districts 9 Basic Tables 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. Table 6 answers the question of how many "primary" and "high" schools there are in the 100 largest school districts. Since nearly every conceivable 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). Although 93 of these school districts have some schools in the "other" category, only in the Puerto Rico school system is the number relatively high (222, or 14 percent). However, there are 6 districts in Florida in which the proportion of schools that are other than primary, middle or high is over 20 percent. Table 7 presents median pupil/teacher ratios for the schools found in the categories established in table 6. Since teacher counts by school were not available for the states of Massachusetts and Tennessee and the Jefferson County school district in Kentucky, no pupil/teacher ratio could be calculated for the districts in these states or district. Among the 100 largest districts, the median pupil/teacher ratio for all schools in a district was 17 to 1. The districts varied from 13 to 1 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to 25 to 1 in Jordon School District, Utah. Table 8 gives the number of schools in each district in five ranges of percent-minority student membership, as well as the overall minority student percentage for each district. In this report, minority is defined as all race/ethnicities other than White, non-Hispanic. Eight out of the 10 largest school districts have more than 75 percent minority student membership. Whereas table 8 deals with the number of schools in each district having a minority presence of any kind, 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 minority groups while others have high concentrations of one minority group. For example, the New York City Public Schools have 38 percent Hispanic students and 35 percent Black students while the Philadelphia City School District has a much higher percentage of Black students (65 percent) than any other minority group. Also shown in table 9 is the number of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Responses in this data category were available for 92 districts out of the 100 largest. Among these districts, the percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch under the National School Lunch Program varied greatly. Of the 92 districts that did report free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, 43 districts reported that over 50 percent of their students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Table 10 deals with the school district revenues and expenditures and is based on fiscal year 1999 (which is school year 1998-99) 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 1999. Data for Puerto Rico were obtained from the National Public Education Financial Survey. Among the 100 largest school districts, Boston School District, Massachusetts, had the highest expenditure per pupil ($11,040), and Puerto Rico Department of Education the lowest ($3,298). Overall, there were 20 school districts with per pupil expenditures greater than $7,000 and 3 school districts with per pupil expenditures less than $4,000. 20 10 Characteristics of the 100 Largest School Districts Basic Tables Whereas table 10 deals with the dollar amounts of revenues and expenditures, table 11 presents the percentage of revenues by sources as well as the percentage of current expenditures spent on instruction. The 100 largest school districts spent 62 percent of their current expenditures on instruction. Table 12 presents the different types of staff in each district. Teachers represented the largest proportion of staff. Seventy districts reported that 50 percent or more of their staff were teachers and 8 districts had over 60 percent teachers. Table 13 reports the number and percentage of students in Title I eligible schools and school-wide programs. The 2000-01 school year was the third 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 9 to 100 percent. Of 90 districts that reported at least one Title I school, 35 reported that 100 percent of Title I schools were also Title I school-wide eligible. Table 14 also reports new data items beginning in the 1998-99 school year; that is magnet and charter schools. Only 65 of the 100 largest districts were able to report the number of magnet schools (or magnet schools did exist in their states), while 97 districts reported the number of charter schools or were located in states that do not have charter schools. Many charter schools function as their own school districts which is why many of the districts in this report may be in states that have charter school legislation but do not report having any charter schools. A few of the new items starting in 1998-99 asked for the numbers of students receiving services for limited English proficient (LEP) and migrant students. Table 15 reports these totals for those districts that provided this information. Sixty of the 100 largest districts reported the number of migrant students in the previous school year. Fresno Unified School District, California, reported the most migrant students served at 8,234 students. Fresno also reported the most migrant students in summer programs, 3,217. Ninety of the 100 largest districts were able to report students served in LEP programs. Santa Ana Unified School District, California, reported the highest percentage of LEP students, 65.0 percent. Table 16 reports the percentage of 1999-2000 school year dropouts for those school districts in states that were able to report dropouts using the NCES dropout definition (see Glossary for definition). Sixty of the 100 districts have data on this table. Tables 17 and 18 present data from the 2000 Decennial Census. These data represent the race/ethnicity data collected on the Census "short form." Table 17 shows the numbers and table 18 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 it is collected on the 2000-01 CCD. The 2000 Decennial Census instated two racial/ethnic questions to respondents separating the Hispanic identification out from the races. A respondent answered a question on their Hispanic status first, then answered a question on their race (Hispanic not included). Therefore, Hispanic was treated as an ethnicity and Hispanic respondents had to choose another race.

There are cases in which special education, vocational education, and alternative programs reside in other types of schools. NOTE: The universe for this table includes outlying areas, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense schools. Types of Schools are defined in the following way on the CCD: Regular school-A public elementary/secondary school that does not focus primarily on vocational, special, or alternative education; Special education school-A public elementary/secondary school that: 1) focuses primarily on special education, including instruction for any of the following: hard of hearing, deaf, speech-impaired, health-impaired, orthopedically impaired, mentally retarded, seriously emotionally disturbed, multi-handicapped, visually handicapped, deaf and blind; and 2) adapts curriculum, materials or instruction for students served; Vocational education school-A public elementary/secondary school that focuses primarily on vocational education, and provides education and training in one or more semi-skilled or technical operations; Alternative education school-A public elementary/secondary school that: I) addresses the 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; and 4) falls outside of the categories of regular, special education, or vocational education.

NOTE: The universe for this table includes outlying areas, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense schools. C.:11 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 577 or less, and 25 percent have a membership of 1,325 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 871 pupils in membership. Dividing all students in regular schools by the number of such schools yields a mean, or average, size of 1,080.2 students. The standard deviation is a measure of how schools in the district are distributed between the minimum and maximum compared to the mean. Smaller standard deviations indicate the schools in the district are clustered closer to the mean value while larger standard deviations indicate that school size is spread more widely across the range of possiblevalues.

Information was reported to NCES by state education agencies in the spring of 2001. There are three nonfiscal CCD surveys collecting 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) forms. 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 year for which data are available from the Annual Survey of Local Government Finances is 1999. National and Puerto Rico fiscal data were taken from the 1998-99 NPEFS. 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. The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Department of Defense schools and the outlying areas are included in the United States and jurisdiction totals in this report. District-level data were provided by all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Department of Defense schools, and five outlying areas: American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands by a state CCD Coordinator. CCD Coordinators ensure the quality of their data submission with NCES each year. If a data item is marked "Data not available" it indicates the state did not report the data item on their CCD submission. Item Nonresponse There were some items for which data were not available at the desired levels. The following nonresponse situations in the CCD school and agency universe surveys relate to information presented in this report: 1. no teacher counts for Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Jefferson County School District, Kentucky; 2. no data on free and reduced-price lunch eligibility for Arizona, Illinois, Tennessee, and Washington (school universe); and 3. no dropout data for California, Florida, Hawaii, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and South Carolina. More Information on CCD Methodology For more information on the CCD school and agency universe surveys and response rates see Overview of Public Elementary and Secondary Schools and Districts: School Year 2000-01 (NCES 2002-356). This report discusses missing data, data quality, and presents state totals of the CCD data items from the school and agency surveys. This includes the sometimes unique situations of charter and magnet schools as well as schools and districts with no student membership. Definitions Alternative education schoolA public elementary/secondary school that: 1) addresses needs of students that typically cannot be met in a regular school, 2) provides nontraditional education, 3) 6 1 Characteristics of the 100 Largest School Districts 55 Methodology serves as an adjunct to a regular school, or 4) falls outside of the categories of regular, special education, or vocational education.
