Foreword
State Comparisons of Education Statistics: 196970 to 199394 contains information on elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher education aggregated at a state level. The report contains
a wide array of statistical data ranging from enrollments and enrollment ratios to teacher salaries and institutional finances. The report was designed to meet the needs of state and local education officials
and analysts who need convenient access to state level statistics, without consulting numerous volumes and conflicting sources. Many revisions and updates that have occurred over the years have been incorporated
in this volume. This up-to-date time series report contains NCESs most frequently requested state level statistics.
State Comparisons reflects an extension of the prior two editions in NCESs historical state education publications. In addition, State Comparisons provides detailed analytical tables that highlight more
recent data. The State Comparisons project also was designed to provide an update of statistical data that may be obtained through NCES.
The analytical tables in State Comparisons draw on information available in the Digest of Education Statistics, 1994 as well as newer data recently released and other material specially arranged for this
volume. Examples of new material for this volume include:
- Expenditures per student in elementary and secondary schools, by function
- Percent of students participating in federal special education programs
- Size of public school districts
- Distribution of college graduates, by major field of study
- Average public college tuition compared to per capita income
- Educational and general expenditure per FTE student, by type and control of institution
These materials supplement the core historical statistics, which provide annual time-series data from 196970 to 199293 or 199394. Some historical tables contain somewhat different time periods, because of the limitations of data availability.
