EDFacts is a U. S. Department of Education initiative to put performance data at the center of policy, management and budget decisions for all K-12 educational programs. EDFacts centralizes performance data supplied by K-12 state education agencies (SEAs) with other data assets, such as financial grant information, within the Department to enable better analysis and use in policy development, planning and management. The purpose of EDFacts is to:
- Place the use of robust, timely performance data at the core of decision and policymaking in education.
- Reduce state and district data burden and streamline data practices.
- Improve state data capabilities by providing resources and technical assistance.
- Provide data for planning, policy, and management at the federal, state, and local levels.
EDFacts relies on the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN), a centralized portal through which states submit their educational data to the U.S. Department of Education. EDEN is comprised of three main components: (1) the EDEN Submission System (ESS), an electronic data system capable of receiving data on over 100 data groups at the state, district and local levels; (2) the EDEN Survey Tool (EST), which collects data supplementary to the ESS data; and (3) the EDEN staging database, a holding area for newly submitted data.
Important News!
New Spring 2009 EDFacts State Profiles Now Available
New Spring 2009 EDFacts State Profiles are now available for your use. These state profiles provide critical education performance data for all 50 states and DC. Data from EDFacts (state-reported data on students, staff, services, and outcomes at the state, district, and school levels for grades K-12), the Consolidated State Performance Report, the National Assessment of Educational Progress, and other sources have been used to populate these profiles.
The state profile data include:
- Contextual information (numbers of school districts, all schools, Title I and charter schools in the state; the top five largest school districts in the state; and student enrollment by race/ethnicity as well as for special populations)
- Adequate yearly progress (AYP) status as well as the number and percentage of all schools and Title I schools who made AYP and those that did not make AYP and are in need of improvement
- State annual measurable objective (AMO) targets
- State student performance data and National Assessment of Education Progress data by race/ethnicity and special population subgroups
- Student outcomes, including high school graduation and dropout rates, Advanced Placement participation, and college enrollment rates.
Summaries of key findings are provided for every state, as are explanatory notes that provide definitions for terms used in the profiles and data source information.
The profiles were developed by the Performance Information Management Service of the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development, U. S. Department of Education. For further information, please contact 202-401-0091.
