One of the major responsibilities of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is to report on the condition of public elementary and secondary education in the United States. In support of this mission, NCES collects from state education agencies selected data items about all the public elementary and secondary schools and education agencies in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 outlying areas: American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Information is also provided by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) on its dependents schools overseas. The NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) surveys annually collect information on the universe of public schools and education agencies. This publication presents data primarily from the spring 1995 CCD survey. The introduction contains several tables that provide an overview of the patterns of elementary/secondary education agencies within the reporting states. They are followed by the listing of education agencies, organized by state and type of agency. The directory lists all reported public elementary/secondary education agencies in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the five outlying areas, and the DOD. Six tables are included. Appendices contain the addresses of state education agencies and samples of the education-agency survey form and the school-universe survey form. (LMI)

This directory lists all reported public elementary and secondary education agencies in 50 states, the District of Columbia, five outlying districts (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands), and the Department of Defense. Types of agencies include regular school districts, supervisory union administrative centers, regional educational service agencies, state-operated agencies, federally operated agencies, and other agencies. The introduction has several summary tables. Table 1 shows number and percentage of education agencies by type and by state. Regular school districts comprise over 90 percent of all agencies listed. Table 2 indicates what percentage of 14,766 regular school districts, by pupil membership, serve what percentage of students. Although school districts in three categories representing the largest districts comprise only 5.2 percent of all school districts, they serve 48.8 percent of all public school students. Table 3 provides a breakdown of regular school districts by grade span and membership. Table 4 gives a breakdown of regular school districts by grade span and by state. Table 5 shows the number of regular school districts in each size category by state. Table 6 shows the number of regular school districts with student membership in each state and indicates the number of students in districts at selected percentile intervals on an ascending size scale. The median U.S. school district has 1,052 pupils. Following the actual tables and the school universe listing are appendices containing state education agency addresses and sample survey forms.
