Understanding These Numbers

NCES race/ethnicity categories

The National Center for Education Statistics reports race/ethnicity using seven mutually exclusive categories, aligned with the U.S. Census. Hispanic ethnicity is reported separately from race.

Diversity and school quality are distinct

A school's demographic profile reflects its neighborhood and district boundaries, not its academic quality. Use these numbers for context, not as a quality signal.

English Language Learners

ELL students are entitled to language support services under federal law. A higher ELL % often reflects a school serving a multilingual immigrant community.

IEP / Special Education

IEP percentages reflect students receiving specialized instruction under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This includes a wide range of learning, physical, and developmental needs.
