A First Look: Students' Access to Educational Opportunities in U.S. Public Schools. 2020-21 Civil Rights Data Collection. New Data Release 2023
Office for Civil Rights, US Department of Education
The 2020-21 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is a mandatory survey of all public school districts and schools serving students in preschool through grade 12 in the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and therefore includes data from 17,821 public school districts and 97,575 public schools. The CRDC measures student access to courses, programs, Internet and devices, instructional and other staff, and resources -- as well as school climate factors such as student discipline, use of restraint and seclusion, harassment or bullying, and offenses occurring at schools -- that impact education opportunity for students. A First Look provides an overview of CRDC data public school districts submitted to the U.S Department of Education's (ED) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) for the 2020-21 school year. The calculated counts and percentages in this report may differ from those reported by other offices within ED due to differences in methodology, data sources, and survey population (or the universe of schools and school districts that submit data). OCR cautions readers and data users to consider the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on students and on education conditions when comparing the 2020-21 CRDC to CRDCs from previous years.
