Civil Rights Data Collection

Overview

The U.S. Department of Education [ED] conducts the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), formerly the Elementary and Secondary School Survey (E&S Survey), to collect data on key education and civil rights issues in our nation's public schools. The CRDC collects a variety of information including, student enrollment and educational programs and services, disaggregated by race/ethnicity, sex, limited English proficiency and disability. The CRDC is a longstanding and important aspect of the ED Office for Civil Right's overall strategy for administering and enforcing the civil rights statutes for which it is responsible. Information collected by the CRDC is also used by other ED offices as well as policymakers and researchers outside of ED.

Publications

Data reports published by OCR, relying on the CRDC, are valuable resources for other Department of Education office and Federal agencies, policymakers and research, educators and school officials, parents and students, and the public who seek data summaries on student access to educational opportunities.
