FOREWORD
State Comparisons of Education Statistics: 1969每70 to 1996每97
State Comparisons 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-todate time series report contains NCES*s most frequently requested state level statistics.
State Comparisons reflects an extension of the
prior three editions in NCES*s 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 the Department*s Web site
and Encyclopedia of Education Statistics retrieval
system.
The analytical tables in State Comparisons draw
on information available in the Digest of Education
Statistics, 1997 as well as newer data recently released and other material specially arranged for this
volume. Examples of special material for this volume
include:
? Percentage of students participating in federal special education programs
? Trends in revenues for public elementary and secondary schools, by source
? Size of public school districts
? Distribution of college graduates, by major field of
study
? Educational and general expenditures per FTE student, by type and control of institution
These materials supplement the core historical statistics, which provide annual time-series data from
1969每70 to 1994每95, and in some cases 1995每96 or
1996每97. Some historical tables contain somewhat
different time periods, because of the limitations of
data availability.
