|
Good afternoon colleagues:
Today, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) released
The Condition of Education 2017, a congressionally mandated annual report summarizing the latest data on education in the United States. The report is designed to help policymakers and the public monitor educational progress. This year's report includes 50 indicators on topics ranging from prekindergarten through postsecondary education, as well as labor force outcomes and international comparisons.
In addition to the regularly updated annual indicators, this year's report highlights homeless education data for the first time. The homeless education spotlight indicator draws on administrative data from the Center's ED
Facts data collection and finds that 2.5 percent of students in U.S. public elementary and secondary schools were reported as homeless during the 2014-2015 school year. The percentage of students reported as homeless ranged from 2.0 percent in suburban school districts to 2.4 percent in rural districts, 2.6 percent in town districts, and 3.7 percent in city districts.
