Examine K-12 schools in the context of your service areas, markets or study areas. See how, for example, K-12 schools are distributed by congressional district by type of school, grade offerings, student mix, and other categories. This section provides technical information about U.S. national scope K-12 school characteristics and demographic data resources.

Proximity develops annually updated national scope, school level, datasets based on data reported by state and local education agencies and the U.S. Department of Education. These data are augmented with other data to enhance analytical potential.

Proximity uses these in national, regional and local analyses/applications and also makes the datasets available to others for their own use. Contact Proximity (888-364-7656) with questions about data covered in this section or to discuss your access and use.

The dataset described below includes more than 100,000 K-12 schools and is available in dBASE, CSV and other file structures. These data are also available in the form of a point shapefile and may be used to develop maps and perform geospatial analysis using the Proximity CommunityViewer GIS software or any software with the ability to use shapefiles. Join us in a no fee Webinar to learn more about using these data for your geography and subject matter applications of interest.
