The Common Core of Data (CCD) is the primary database of the National Center for Education Statistics on elementary and secondary education in the United States. CCD is a comprehensive, annual, national statistical database of all elementary and secondary schools and school districts. It contains data that are comparable across all states, and all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and outlying territories under U.S. jurisdiction are included. This CD-ROM disc contains six years of CCD data, for the states beginning with school year 1988-89 through 1993-94, five years for agencies, and four years for schools. The disc contains approximately 340,000 school records, 83,000 agency records, and 330 state records. Agency level fiscal data have been merged with nonfiscal data, as have state data. Some of the agency fiscal and demographic data were obtained from the 1990 Decennial Census and the F-33 survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census.
