Geographic Area Description
School
districts are geographic entities within which state, county, or local
officials provide public educational services for the area's residents.
The U.S. Census Bureau obtains the boundaries and names for school districts
from state officials. The U.S. Census Bureau first provided data for
school districts in the 1970 census. For Census 2000, the U.S. Census
Bureau tabulated data for three types of school districts: elementary,
secondary, and unified.
Each
school district is assigned a five-digit code that is unique within
state. School district codes are assigned by the Department of Education
and are not necessarily in alphabetical order by school district name.
