As of 2007, there were 947 school districts (of an approximate total 14,000) with 2007 total population of 65,000 population based on the 2007 American Community Survey (ACS). Only school districts with 65,000 population or more are included in the 2007 ACS. The Nation's 947 largest school districts (2007 total population 65,000 or more) changed from a total population of 157,401,264 (55.9 percent of total U.S. population [281,421,906]) to 171,897,907 (57.0 percent of total U.S. population [301,621,159]). The K-12 school age population (ages 5-17 years) changed from of 29,454,410 (55.5 percent of the U.S. population ages 5-17 years [53,118,014]) to 30,459,098 (57.2 percent of the U.S. population ages 5-17 years [53,237,254]). The K-12 school age population (ages 5-17 years) changed from of 29,454,410 (10.5 percent of total U.S. population [281,421,906]) to 30,459,098 (10.1 percent of total U.S. population [301,621,159]). Data for 2000 are based on Census 2000. Data for 2007 are based on the American Community Survey. These data collection and tabulation programs vary in terms of reference date (within year) and errors in tabulation/estimation. The 947 school districts are comprised of 881 secondary and unified districts and 66 elementary districts. As the elementary districts overlap combined secondary and unified districts, only the populations of the 881 secondary and unified districts have been used to develop the above demographic summary. A few of the 947 school districts have had changes to their geographic boundary; these changes are not reflected in the demographics. All 947 school districts are shown in the maps and interactive ranking table shown below.
