Choose a state directory

Agency counts include regular districts, independent charter agencies, service agencies, specialized systems, and other NCES agency types. The regular-district count isolates conventional district systems for more comparable rankings.

One hub, several ways into the data

State directories provide complete A–Z agency browsing, a starting list by enrollment, large public high schools, and links to individual profiles. State ranking pages let you sort reported district measures without turning them into a composite quality score.

State context comes first

Funding systems, agency structures, program rules, and accountability measures vary. Compare like agency types within the same state before drawing national conclusions, and keep the source year attached to every figure.
