School District Ranking Table Notes and Usage

This section provides information about using the school district ranking table (http://proximityone.com/dist0506.htm), also available in Excel and shapefile structure.

For best results, it is important that the ranking table Webpage be viewed using Internet Explorer.

About these data. School districts with more than 2,500 enrollment (2005-06) are included in the ranking table (3,939 school districts of the total 14,693 districts).

These data were developed based on data as of the 2005-06 school year, becoming available for all school districts in July 2007. The next update is expected in the summer 2008.

The size of the ranking table results in the sorting process to require a few minutes. Please wait.
