Reference: Fast Facts / "Fact Sheets": Education (U.S.): Statistics

Yes, we love our fact sheets around here and today we're going to mention a growing number of them from the National Center for Education Statistics.

The complete set of fact sheets can be found here. Each "sheet" has a question and the provides answers and sources of where the answer came from making it much faster to check for the latest/updated numbers.

Here's a Look at What's Been Placed Online Recently:

In the Assessments Category

+ Do you have any information on assessments of students in arts education classes?

In the Elementary/Secondary School Category

+ There are 27 Fact Sheets and but four fact sheets are new.

In the International Category

+ How does achievement of American students compare to students in other countries?

+ How does the United States compare in labor force outcomes of education?

In the Postsecondary Category

+ Is participation in adult learning increasing?

+ How long does it take students at colleges and universities to complete their bachelor's degrees?

+ What is the percentage of degrees conferred by sex and race?

+ How large are the endowments of colleges and universities in the United States?

+ Do you have any statistics on financial aid for postsecondary undergraduates?

+ Which colleges have the highest enrollment?

+ How has the college enrollment rate immediately following high school graduation varied over time?

+ What is the average income for high school and college graduates?

+ What are the most popular majors for college students?

+ What types of NCES surveys are available on students and teachers by state and level?

+ Do you have any information on the race/ethnicity of college and university faculty and staff?

+ What proportion of students enrolled in postsecondary education have a disability?

+ What is Title IX?

NCES has also compiled a large set of glossaries from their publications.
You can find the collection here.
