These districts are defined as the 100 largest according to the size of their student population. The information in this report was provided by state education agency officials to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) for inclusion in the Common Core of Data (CCD). The report uses data from the 2004–05 school year and includes student membership and staff in public schools and school districts in the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Bureau of Indian Education, the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic), and the four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands).1 This report also includes graduate counts for the 2003–04 school year and revenues and expenditures for fiscal year (FY) 2004. 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 1). • The 100 largest public school districts employed 20 percent of the United States and jurisdictions’ public school full-time-equivalent (FTE) teachers and contained 17 percent of all public schools and 20 percent of public high school completers (table 1). • The 100 largest public school districts had larger average school enrollments compared to the average for all school districts (702 vs. 518). In addition to larger school sizes, the 100 largest school districts also had a higher median pupil/teacher ratio than the average school district (16.2 vs. 15.5) (table 1). • Four states—California, Florida, Texas, and New York—accounted for half of the students in the 100 largest public school districts (table D-3). • The percentage of students in the 100 largest public school districts who were other than White, non-Hispanic was 71 percent, compared to 43 percent of students in all school districts (table 2). • In FY 2004, current expenditures per pupil in the 100 largest public school districts ranged from lows of $4,351 in the Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico and $5,608 in the Jordan School District, Utah to a high of $17,337 in the Boston School District, Massachusetts (table A-14). 1In this report, the term “United States and jurisdictions” refers to these entities.

The 100 largest school districts in the United States and jurisdictions: School year 2004–05 ............3 1 Introduction The purpose of this publication is to provide basic descriptive information about the 100 largest school districts (ranked by student membership, that is, the number of students enrolled at the beginning of the school year) for the 2004–05 school year in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Bureau of Indian Education, the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic), and the four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). In this report, the terms “United States and jurisdictions” and “national total data” refer 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 1). These districts are distinct from all school districts by characteristics other than just the size of their membership. They also vary by average school size, median pupil/teacher ratio, and minority enrollment as a proportion of total enrollment (tables 1 and 2).

SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD), "Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey," 2004–05, Version 1b, "Local Education Agency Universe Survey," 2004–05, Version 1c, and "State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/Secondary Education," 2004–05, Version 1e. 100 largest districts 5 Includes high school diploma recipients as well as other high school completers (e.g., certificates of attendance), but not high school equivalencies (e.g., GEDs). 6 Includes only schools where student membership was greater than zero and for which pupil/teacher ratio data were available. The median is given because it is unaffected by very high or very low values. NOTE: Data include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic). The 500 largest school districts include 22 school districts that are some other configuration besides prekindergarten (PK) or K–12, although all of the 100 largest school districts are PK or K–12. 3 Totals for number of schools may differ from published estimates since they exclude closed, inactive, and future schools. 7 Includes only schools where membership was greater than zero. 1 Totals may differ from other published estimates due to inclusion of Puerto Rico, the outlying areas, the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Department of Defense dependents schools. 4 Full-time equivalent (FTE) is the amount of time required to perform an assignment stated as a proportion of a full-time position. It is computed by dividing the amount of time employed by the amount of time normally required for a full-time position. FTE is not a head count; for example, 2 half-time employees represent 1 FTE. In this report, the terms “public school districts” and “school districts” are used interchangeably. These 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 agencies; and other agencies that do not fall into these groupings (e.g., charter schools reported as their own school districts). A “regular school district,” a subset of “public school districts” or “school districts,” 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. 2 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, four tables in this section (tables 1–4) provide national data and data for the 100 largest school districts; tables 1 and 2 also include data for the 500 largest districts. Appendix A presents basic data tables for the 100 largest school districts. Appendix D (tables D-1 to D-4) provides supplementary information about the 100 and 500 largest school districts. Table D-1 lists the 500 largest school districts with some identifying information. Table D-2 is an alphabetic list of the 500 largest districts that includes their rank by membership size. Table D-3 provides a count of the number of 100 largest districts by state. Table D-4 provides selected data for the 100 largest school districts in the 1994–95 school year for comparison with the 2004–05 school year. In all tables, with the exception of tables D-2 and D-3, districts are presented in decreasing order of membership size.

Two states (Kentucky and Tennessee), the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic), the Bureau of Indian Education, and the U.S. Virgin Islands did not report free and reduced-price lunch eligibility and are not included in the totals. 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. See the Methodology section, appendix B, for further description. Percentages are based on those schools that reported. NOTE: Data include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic). Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.

Overview of the 100 Largest School Districts In the 2004–05 school year, there were 17,662 public school districts, 98,579 public schools, and over 49.5 million students in public schools in the United States and jurisdictions (table 1). Additionally, there were over 3.1 million full-time equivalent (FTE)2 teachers in the 2004–05 school year and 2.6 million high school completers in the 2003–04 school year.3 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. These school districts contained 17 percent of all public schools and employed 20 percent of all FTE teachers. In comparison, the 500 largest school districts comprised 3 percent of all public school districts, comprised 32 percent of public schools, and served 43 percent (21.4 million) of all public elementary and secondary students in the United States and jurisdictions. The 100 largest school districts ranged in size from 46,711 to 986,967 students in 2004–05 (table A-1). Twenty- seven of these districts served over 100,000 students. The largest public school district was New York City Public 2 FTE is a proportion of a full-time position. For example, 2 half-time employees represent 1 FTE. 3 In the CCD, data on high school completers are collected 1 year after the completions occur. For example, data on the 2003–04 high school completers are collected in the 2004–05 data collection. 3 Schools, New York, with 986,967 students enrolled in 1,205 schools. The next largest was the Los Angeles Unified district, California, with 741,367 students in 721 schools. The enrollment of each of these two largest districts was greater than the enrollment of each of the 28 smallest states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, each of the four outlying areas, and the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic).4 Where Were the 100 Largest School Districts? There were 31 states and jurisdictions that each had at least one of the 100 largest school districts in the 2004–05 school year (table A-1, figure 1, and table D-3). Texas had 16 districts among the 100 largest, followed by Florida with 14, and California with 13. Several other states had more than one district represented among the 100 largest: Georgia and Maryland each had 6; North Carolina and Virginia each had 5; Utah had 4; Colorado and Tennessee each had 3; and Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, and Ohio each had 2. Each of the following states had one school district among the 100 largest: Alabama, Alaska, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, 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 2004–05 SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD), “Local Education Agency Universe Survey,” 2004–05, Version 1c. About three-quarters of the 100 largest school districts were located in coastal and Gulf Coast states (see table D-3 for a count of the 100 largest districts by state). The school districts among the 100 largest also tended to be in cities and counties with large populations, with administrative offices typically located in large cities and their 4 State enrollment data can be found in the following CCD data file: “State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/Secondary Education,” 2004–05, Version 1e. 4 environs. Many of the districts were in states where the school districts have the same boundaries as counties. However, school district boundaries need not be the same as county, city, or town boundaries. How Did the 100 Largest School Districts Compare With All School Districts? General Characteristics In the 2004–05 school year, each of the 100 largest school districts had at least 46,711 students, whereas 72 percent of all regular school districts had fewer than 2,500 students (tables 3 and A-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 (table 3). The average school district in the United States and jurisdictions had 5.6 schools; in comparison, the 100 largest school districts averaged 163.3 schools per district (derived from table 1). 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 1,200 schools (table A-1).

Districts Students Cumulative totals NOTE: Data include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic). Not included in this table are local supervisory unions, regional education service agencies, and state and federally operated agencies. The number of regular districts presented in this table differs from that presented in table 1, which represents all districts. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. 1 Membership may be zero 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). 5 School Characteristics Average regular school5 size ranges from a low of 376 students (in District of Columbia Public Schools, District of Columbia) to a high of 1,369 (in Gwinnett County School District, Georgia) in the 100 largest school districts in the 2004–05 school year (table A-2). The largest regular school in the 100 largest districts, and also one of the three largest regular schools in the United States, was the 5,213 student Belmont Senior High, Los Angeles Unified District, California.6 The 100 largest school districts had more students per school than the average school district (702 vs. 518) (table 1). Thirteen of the 100 largest school districts had an average regular school size of over 1,000 students (table A-2). In addition to larger school sizes, the 100 largest school districts also had a higher median pupil/teacher ratio than the average school district (16.2 to 1 vs. 15.5 to 1) (table 1). Among the 100 largest public school districts for which data were available, Jordan School District, Utah, had the highest median pupil/teacher ratio in regular schools (24.8 to 1) and Boston School District, Massachusetts, had the smallest (12.5 to 1) (table A-3). The median pupil/teacher ratio for regular primary schools in the 100 largest districts was lower than that for high schools (16.0 to 1 vs. 18.0 to 1). Of the 16,016 schools with membership in the 100 largest public school districts, 10,033 were primary schools, 2,477 were middle schools, 2,322 were high schools, and 1,184 were schools with other instructional levels (table A-4). The Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico—which had the most schools with membership in total—had the largest number of primary (881), middle schools (226), and other instructional level (223) schools of the 100 largest public school districts, whereas New York City Public Schools, New York, had the largest number of high schools (186) and the second largest number of primary (702), middle (199), and other instructional level (104) schools. School staff. At the national level, 51 percent of staff were teachers (Sable and Hill 2006),7 while in the 99 of the 100 largest districts for which data were available 52 percent of staff were teachers (table A-5). Fifty-eight of these 99 districts reported that 50 percent or more of staff were teachers, and 5 districts reported that 60 percent or more of staff were teachers (these districts were City of Chicago School District, Illinois; Clark County School District, Nevada; Greenville County School District, South Carolina; Washoe County School District, Nevada; and San Francisco Unified, California). Twenty of these 99 school districts had 1 percent or more of their staff assigned as LEA administrators.8 Title I participation. The percentage of Title I eligible schools in these districts ranged from 5.7 percent (Jordan School District, Utah) to 99.2 percent (in Cleveland City School District, Ohio) (table A-6). Within the 97 largest school districts for which data were available, 54 percent of students attended a Title I eligible school, compared to 50 percent of students nationally (Sable and Hill 2006). Magnet schools and charter schools. The largest number of magnet schools among the 62 districts that reported data on magnet schools or reported that magnet schools did not exist in that state was in the City of Chicago School District, with 299 magnet schools (or 47 percent of its schools and 51 percent of its students in magnet schools). In the 2004–05 school year, there were 707 charter schools administered by the 97 of the 100 largest school districts that had legislation authorizing charter schools (table A-7). This number does not include charter schools that are independent of the school district.9 Two percent of the students in these districts attended one of these charter schools. In the 50 states and the District of Columbia, there were 3,294 charter schools, including both independent and dependent charter schools, attended by 2 percent of students in 2004–05 (Sable and Hill 2006). The largest 5 A regular school is a public elementary/secondary school that does not focus primarily on vocational, special, or alternative education. 6 Data on school enrollment can be found in the following CCD file: “Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey,” 2004–05, Version 1b. This data source is available online at http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/pubschuniv.asp. 7 The national staff ratio does not include the Bureau of Indian Education schools. 8 New York did not report staff data for 2004–05. Therefore, this district’s staff data are not included in these data for the 100 largest school districts. 9 Because districts are administrative units, not geographic units, charter schools located in the same geographic area as the district’s schools, but not administered by the district, are not included in this total or in table A-7. 6 number of charter schools administered by a district (120) was in the Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico, followed by Los Angeles Unified, California (68 charter schools) (table A-7). Student Body Overall, the 100 largest school districts in 2004–05 had 23 percent of the United States and jurisdictions’ public school students (table 1). 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, non-Hispanic Blacks, and non-Hispanic Whites are the five racial/ethnic groups about which the CCD collects data. In 65 of the 95 districts among the 100 largest districts for which racial/ethnic data were available, non-Hispanic Whites comprised less than 50 percent of student membership (table A-8). These 95 school districts served 37 percent of the 21.4 million public school students in the United States and jurisdictions who are other than White, non-Hispanic, compared to serving 12 percent of the 28.2 million students in the U.S. and jurisdictions who are White, non-Hispanic (derived from tables 1 and 2).10 In more than one-third (35) of the 95 districts for which racial/ethnic data were available, students who were other than White, non-Hispanic comprised more than 75 percent of the student membership (table A-8). In the 9 of the 10 largest school districts for which racial/ethnic data were available, 7 districts had other than White, non-Hispanic student membership of at least this size. Even with the relatively high other than White, non-Hispanic membership in the 100 largest school districts, 30 of the 95 districts with racial/ethnic data reported 50 percent or more of their students as White, non-Hispanic (table A-8). In 6 of these 30 districts, at least 75 percent of students were White, non-Hispanic. In 15 of the 95 districts, half or more of the membership was Black, non-Hispanic. Twenty districts reported that the majority of students were Hispanic; 4 of these were among the 10 largest districts for which racial/ethnic data were available (table A- 9). In Hawaii, a one-district state, and the San Francisco Unified District, California, the majority of students were Asian/Pacific Islander. 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, 47 percent of students in the 100 largest school districts were eligible, compared with 38 percent of students in all districts (table 2). Among the 95 of the 100 largest school districts that reported data on free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, 42 districts reported 50 percent or more of their students as eligible for the free and reduced-price lunch program (table A-9). Students with disabilities. Approximately 1.3 million students in the 100 largest school districts had Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) (table A-10). Students with IEPs made up 12 percent of all students in these districts, slightly lower than the percentage for the United States and jurisdictions as a whole (14 percent) (Sable and Hill 2006). In the largest school district reporting IEP data, Los Angeles Unified, California, 11 percent (or 83,207 students) had IEPs. About 2 percent of the schools in the 100 largest school districts were special education schools (derived from table A-11). English language learner (ELL) and migrant students. In the 92 largest school districts for which data were available, nearly 1.4 million English language learner (ELL) students were served in 2004–05, or 12 percent of all students in these districts (table A-12). Nine districts did not report data on the number of migrant students enrolled in the previous school year and 14 districts did not meet reporting standards. Among the 77 of the 100 largest public school districts for which data were available the number of migrant students enrolled in the previous year ranged from 0 in some districts to 11,413 students in Fresno Unified, California and 13,850 students in the Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico. 10 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. In the 2004–05 school year, the total number of students other than White, non-Hispanic in the 100 largest school districts was 7,968,331. The figure for the United States and jurisdictions is from the state-level CCD survey and can be found in Sable and Hill (2006). 7 High school completers. The number of 2003–04 high school completers in the 98 of the 100 largest school districts for which high school completer data were available ranged from a low of 1,592 (in Oakland Unified School District, California) to highs of 29,621 (in Los Angeles Unified, California) and 31,946 (in Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico) (table A-13). The averaged freshman graduation rate11 was 70 percent for the 100 largest school districts in 2003–04, as compared to a rate of 75 percent for the United States (Seastrom et al. 2007). The averaged freshman graduation rate for the 98 of the 100 largest school districts for which the rate could be calculated ranged from a low of 42 percent (in Detroit City School District, Michigan, and Oakland Unified, California) to a high of 95 percent (in Alpine School District, Utah). Revenues and Expenditures for Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 All revenue and expenditure data presented in this report are in current (unadjusted) dollars. In the 2003–04 school year (FY 2004), the 100 largest school districts received over $106 billion for public elementary and secondary education (table A-14). Of this $106 billion, 31 percent ($32 billion) went to the 5 largest school districts (New York City Public Schools, New York; Los Angeles Unified, California; Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico; City of Chicago School District, Illinois; and Dade County School District, Florida). Across the 100 largest districts, state sources accounted for 44 percent of revenues, local sources for 44 percent, and federal sources for 11 percent (table A-15). Among the 100 largest school districts, the percentages of all revenues to the district that were received from federal sources ranged from a low of 3 percent (in the Plano Independent School District, Texas; the Howard County Public Schools System, Maryland; and Cherry Creek 5, Colorado) to a high of 17 percent (in the City of Chicago School District, Illinois; the Brownsville Independent School District, Texas; and the San Antonio Independent School District, Texas), with one exception (31 percent in the Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico). 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 current expenditure dollars spent by the 100 largest school districts (table A-14). The percentage of total current expenditures spent on instruction ranged from a low of 37 percent (in Philadelphia City School District, Pennsylvania) to highs of 65 percent (in New York City Public Schools, New York) and 95 percent (in the Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico) in the 100 largest school districts (table A-15). Current expenditures per pupil in FY 2004 ranged from lows of $4,351 (in the Puerto Rico Department of Education, Puerto Rico) and $5,608 (in Jordan School District, Utah) to a high of $17,337 (in Boston School District, Massachusetts) in the 100 largest school districts in FY 2004 (table A-14). (See appendix C for definitions of specific revenues and expenditures.) Expenditures for charter and private schools. Payments by, or on behalf of, public school districts to independent charter schools and private schools are not included in the expenditures in this report. In some states these payments are made by some entity other than the public school district, and are therefore not reported on the School District Finance Survey. Information on expenditures for independent charter schools and private schools, for those school districts reporting these expenditures, can be found on the Build a Table application at http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/bat/ . Changes in the 100 Largest School Districts Between 1994 and 2004 While there has been considerable change in rank by size within the 100 largest school districts over time, the lists of school districts in 1994–95 and 2004–05 are similar. Only 12 of the 100 largest school districts in 1994–95 were 11 The averaged freshman graduation rate for 2003–04 was calculated as total high school diploma recipients in 2003–04 divided by the averaged class membership of 8th graders in 1999–2000, 9th graders in 2000–01, and 10th graders in 2001–02. See the Methodology section, appendix B, for more information. 8 not among the 100 largest school districts in 2004–05 (see table D-4 for a list of the 100 largest school districts in 1994–95).12 Between 1994–95 and 2004–05, the number of students in the 100 largest school districts increased by 10 percent, and the number of FTE teachers increased by 14 percent (table 4). However, while the numbers of students and teachers 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 1994–95 and 2004–05.

NOTE: Data for 2004–05 include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Bureau of Indian Education, and Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic). In 1994–95, data for the Bureau of Indian Education, and Department of Defense dependents schools (domestic) were not collected, and therefore are not included. The Bureau of Indian Education and Department of Defense dependents schools (domestic) account for 0.1 percent of students, 0.1 percent of teachers, and 0.3 percent of schools among all districts in 2004–05. Percent change 1994–95 2004–05 (1994–95 to 2004–05) 2 Totals for number of schools may differ from published estimates since for 1994–95, they exclude closed schools, and for 2004–05, they exclude closed, inactive, and future schools. Additionally, because inactive and future schools were not distinguished in 1994–95, and therefore cannot be excluded, the school totals for 1994–95 and 2004–05 are not directly comparable. 1 Full-time equivalent (FTE) is the amount of time required to perform an assignment stated as a proportion of a full-time position. It is computed by dividing the amount of time employed by the amount of time normally required for a full-time position. FTE is not a head count; for example, 2 half-time employees represent 1 FTE. 12 When comparing the 100 largest school districts in 1994–95 to those in 2004–05, note that some of the districts changed their name during this period. The twelve public school districts that were among the 100 largest in 1994–95 but not in 2004–05 include East Baton Rouge Parish School Board, Louisiana; Cincinnati City School District, Ohio; Caddo Parish School Board, Louisiana; Buffalo City School District, New York; Ysleta Independent School District, Texas; Newark City, New Jersey; Indianapolis Public Schools, Indiana; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Escambia County School District, Florida; Charleston County School District, South Carolina; Shelby County School District, Tennessee; and Omaha Public Schools, Nebraska. 9 References and Related Data Sources References Sable, J., and Hill, J.

A-1 Appendix A—Basic Tables Table A-1 presents basic data such as the number of students receiving educational services, full-time-equivalent (FTE) teachers, 2003–04 high school 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. In this and all of the other basic tables, the districts are shown in descending order of size (students in membership as of October 2004). 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 six districts immediately preceding it. Tables A-2, A-3, A-4, A-6, A-8, A-9, and A-12 include only schools with student membership (or regular schools with students, as specified in table A-2 and A-3).1 Table A-2 provides information on school characteristics in the 100 largest school districts by displaying school 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 495 or less, while the largest 25 percent have student memberships of 1,013 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 869.0 students. If all the regular schools in New York City Public Schools were listed by size, the school at the midpoint on the list (the median) would have 684 pupils in membership. Table A-3 presents median pupil/teacher ratios for the schools in the 100 largest school districts by instructional level. New York City Public Schools, New York and Washoe County School District, Nevada were not computed because data were missing for more than 20 percent of schools in those districts. Table A-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, grade spans are defined on the basis of the combination of the school’s lowest and highest grade offered. The following four categories are used: primary (lowest grade of prekindergarten to 3; highest grade up to 8), middle (lowest grade 4 to 7; highest grade 4 to 9), high (lowest grade 7 to 12; highest grade 12), and other (all other configurations, including PK, K, or 1 to 12). Table A-5 presents the different types of FTE staff in each district. Teachers represented the largest proportion of FTE staff. “Other staff,” which made up 31 percent of the total, is defined in the appendix C—Glossary. Table A-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 2004–05 school year was the seventh year the CCD collected this Title I information. The percentage of schools that were Title I eligible ranged from 5.7 to 99.2 percent. Table A-7 reports data items that were added in the 1998–99 school year: magnet and charter schools. Among the 100 largest school districts, sixty-two 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 administered by that district. 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. 1 Schools with membership are schools that have an enrollment of at least one student. In the Common Core of Data (CCD), schools can be reported legitimately with no student enrollment because students can be included in the enrollment for only a single school. For example, if a student is dually enrolled in a regular school and a vocational school, that student can only be reported in the membership of one of these schools. Total number of schools includes schools with and without membership. A-2 Table A-8 gives the number of schools in each district in five ranges of percentage of other than White, non- Hispanic student membership, as well as the overall percentage of other than White, non-Hispanic student membership in each district. For example, in 8,402 schools, more than 80 percent of students were other than White, non-Hispanic. Across all of the 100 largest school districts, 71 percent of students were other than White, non-Hispanic. Whereas table A-8 deals with the number of schools in each district that have at least one student whose race is other than White, non-Hispanic, table A-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 Los Angeles Unified, California, 73 percent of students are Hispanic and 12 percent are Black, non-Hispanic, whereas in the New York Public Schools, New York, the other than White, non-Hispanic population is more evenly divided between Hispanic and Black, non-Hispanic students (39 and 33 percent, respectively). Also shown in table A-9 is the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Responses in this data category were available for 95 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. This percentage ranged from a low of 4 percent in the Brownsville Independent School District, Texas to a high of 84 percent in Cleveland City School District, Ohio. Table A-10 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, and other or alternative education 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 A-10. 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 district level could include students enrolled in the district but not assigned to a school (e.g., hospitalized or homebound students). Table A-11 presents the number of schools in the 100 largest districts by type of school. All but three 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 with dual enrollment in a regular school and a vocational education school would be counted in only one of these schools. Table A-12 reports the number and percentage of migrant and summer migrant students, as well as the number and percentage of English language learners (ELL, formerly known as limited English proficient, or LEP). Of the 100 largest school districts, 9 did not report the number of migrant students enrolled in the previous year and 14 districts reported data that did not meet reporting standards. Table A-13 presents the number of high school completers (regular diploma recipients and other completers) in the 100 largest school districts in 2003–04. Note that high school completers are reported on the CCD agency file for the previous year (e.g., 2003–04 high school completers are reported on the 2004–05 agency file). This table also presents the averaged freshman graduation rate (using diploma recipients only) for each district for 2004–05 (see appendix B—Methodology for a discussion of the calculation of the averaged freshman graduation rate). Table A-14 deals with school district revenues and expenditures and is based on fiscal year 2004 (school year 2003–04) 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 2004. Data for Puerto Rico were obtained from the CCD National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS). A-3 Whereas table A-14 deals with the dollar amounts of revenues and expenditures, table A-15 presents the percentages of revenues by source as well as the percentage of current expenditures spent on instruction. For example, the 100 largest school districts received 44 percent of their revenues from state sources and spent 53 percent of their current expenditures on instruction. In table A-16, data are given on the number of students assigned to graded (three categories) and ungraded levels. In accounting for their students, 78 of the 100 largest districts assigned all of their students to numbered grades and 22 used the ungraded status for some students in some settings, such as special education, vocational education, and other specialized or alternative education 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 district level could include students enrolled in the district but not assigned to a school (e.g., hospitalized or homebound students).

How to read this table: Using the City of Chicago School District as an example, the table shows that the smallest 25 percent of regular schools have a pupil membership of 393 or less, and the largest 25 percent have a membership of 861 or more. If all the regular schools in the City of Chicago School District were listed by size, the school at the mid point on the list (the median) would have 605 pupils in membership. Dividing all City of Chicago School District students in regular schools by the number of such schools yields a mean, or average, size of 714.8 students.

Total completers may be different than reported in the CCD state-level file. 2Averaged freshman graduation rate (AFGR) is an estimate of the percentage of an entering freshman class graduating in four years.

NOTE: Data include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic). A-36 B-1 Appendix B—Methodology The source of the data for this report is the 2004–05 Common Core of Data (CCD). Information was reported to NCES by state education agencies in the spring of 2005. There are three nonfiscal CCD surveys that collect basic descriptive data on public education in the nation: the school survey (Public School Universe Survey), local education agency survey (Local Education Agency Universe Survey), and state survey (State Nonfiscal Survey). Fiscal CCD 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 U.S. Census Bureau. The most recent fiscal year for which data are available is 2005. Puerto Rico fiscal data were taken from the fiscal year 2004 NPEFS. CCD data are provided by a CCD Coordinator in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Bureau of Indian Education, the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic), and four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Data for 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 in its CCD submission or that the item was suppressed because the information was incorrect or could possibly disclose a student’s identity. Districts represented in this report have various 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 membership. Data Quality CCD data are reported by state education agencies (SEAs) for individual schools and districts within the state, as well as for the state as a whole. Staff at NCES and its collection agent, the U.S. Census Bureau, work with the SEAs to clean and edit the data. State CCD coordinators correct or confirm any numbers that are challenged in the NCES edits. NCES accepts the states’ responses to these edit questions; however, 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. NCES challenges SEA data under several circumstances. Some examples of edits include numbers appearing out of range when compared to national averages, the previous year’s data, or internal state reports. If a response is logically impossible or appears implausibly large or small NCES will consult with the state and replace the response with a logically acceptable alternative. In the 2004–05 CCD, three of the 100 largest districts were reported as having either all or none of their schools Title I eligible. These numbers appeared implausible when the percent of Title I eligible schools for each of the 100 largest districts was compared with 2003–04 reports. Consultation with the respective state CCD Coordinators confirmed that these numbers were incorrect, and the values were changed to “not available.” 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. Data may also be adjusted for confidentiality. 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: • no staff counts at the school level for New York City Public Schools, New York; • no data on race/ethnicity for Nevada and Tennessee; • no data on free and reduced-price lunch eligibility for New York City Public Schools, New York, Kentucky and Tennessee; • no Individualized Education Program (IEP) data for New York City Public Schools, New York; B-2 • no school-year or summer migrant data for New York and Tennessee, no school-year migrant data for Virginia, and no summer migrant data for Nevada, Ohio, Texas, and Utah; • no English language learner (ELL) data for Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, or Tennessee; • no diploma recipient or other high school completer data for New York and Wisconsin. High School Completers and Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate This report presents counts of high school completers and an averaged freshman graduation rate. The term “high school completer” includes both diploma recipients and other high school completers, but not high school equivalency recipients. The averaged freshman graduation rate only includes diploma recipients; it does not include other high school completers or 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 equivalent 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. In order to make data as comparable as possible across states, this report includes both regular and other diploma recipients in its total number of high school completers. High school equivalency recipients are not included. 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 total number of completers, for two reasons. 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. Averaged freshman graduation rate (AFGR). The averaged freshman graduation rate provides an estimate of the percentage of high school students who graduate on time (i.e., within 4 years of entering 9th grade for the first time). The rate uses aggregate student enrollment data (to estimate the size of an incoming freshman class) and aggregate counts of the number of diplomas awarded 4 years later. The incoming freshman class size is estimated by summing the enrollment in 8th grade in one year, 9th grade for the next year, and 10th grade for the year after and then dividing by three. The averaging is intended to account for higher grade retentions in the 9th grade compared with 8th and 10th grades. Ungraded students reported to the CCD were prorated into the individual grade enrollment counts. Thus Diploma recipients in 2003–04 AFGR = (8th grade enrollment in 1999–2000 + * 100 9th grade enrollment in 2000–01 + 10th grade enrollment in 2001–02) / 3 More Information on CCD Methodology For more information on CCD school and agency universe surveys and response rates, see Overview of Public Elementary and Secondary Students, Staff, Schools, School Districts, Revenues, and Expenditures: School Year 2004–05 and Fiscal Year 2004 (Sable and Hill 2006). This report discusses B-3 missing data and data quality, and presents state totals for 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. Page intentionally left blank.

In any school that reported 100 percent eligible students, the number is adjusted to prevent the identification of any individual student. Caution should be used when interpreting these data. Three states did not report free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, and others may not have included reduced price lunch students or may have reported participation instead of eligibility data. C-2 full-time equivalent (FTE)—The amount of time required to perform an assignment stated as a proportion of a full-time position.
