The U.S. Department of Education’s (ED) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) administers the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), which is a mandatory survey of all public school districts and schools in the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The CRDC gathers information on student access to educational programs, activities, and staff in public schools serving students from preschool through 12th grade. For the 2023-24 school year, the CRDC includes data from more than 17,000 school districts and 97,000 schools nationwide.
