"This introduction to the Digest of Education Statistics 2021 provides a brief overview of current trends in American education and highlights key data on topics of current interest. Although the Introduction focuses on more recent trends at the national level, the Digest of Education Statistics also contains long-term trend data spanning up to 100 years and many tables with breakouts by state and subgroups.
Detailed data are available in the Digest tables, which can be accessed from the Most Current Digest Tables page. For instance:
- Data on internet and computer access and use of technology can be found in the 218 and 702 subsections.
- Data on pandemic-related changes in educational activities and plans are available in tables 206.60, 218.80, 218.85, 218.90, 227.60, 302.80, and 302.85.
- Data on cost of postsecondary education and student debt can be found in the 330, 331, and 332 subsections.
The blog post Tips for Navigating the Digest of Education Statistics provides additional information on how to navigate the Digest. In addition to the highlights below, the Digest includes other topics such as federal funds for education, international comparisons of education, and school crime and environment and provides supplemental information including population trends and characteristics of households with children that serves as background for evaluating education data. Unless otherwise noted, data on enrollments, teachers, and faculty are for fall of the given year.
The 2021 edition of the Digest is the 57th in a series of publications initiated in 1962. While the Digest provides an introduction to education-related data collected by the National Center for Education Statistics and nearly 200 other government or nongovernment sources, it is not meant to report on every aspect of these data.."
