The
Partnership
A
unique collaboration has created the Ed-Data website to offer educators,
policy makers, the legislature, parents, and the public quick access
to timely and comprehensive data about K-12 education in California.
The Education Data Partnership provides a significant tool to access
information and improve decision making in managing education's resources.

The California Department of Education collects, analyzes, and publishes
a wide variety of fiscal, demographic, attendance, and student
performance data from local educational agencies. This information
is the source of Ed-Data's profiles and reports. Department staff
provide expertise to make the data available to the Partnership,
to assist in the design of the site, and to participate in determining
how to use the data to make meaningful and useful analyses and
comparisons.
