Ensure graduates of Pennsylvania's high schools are career ready

This dataset is used to produce the School Performance Profile scores found at http://paschoolperformance.org. It is for School Year 2015. School Performance Profile scores are calculated for all open public schools in Pennsylvania. These include regular schools, charter schools, cyber charter schools, and full-time career and technical education centers. The scores reflect one of many indicators of a school’s academic performance.

A report completed in July 2017 and 2020 for the type of credentialed awards at each Administrative Unit by type of Major or Program area of study including the type of instruction.

The purpose of the 12-Month Enrollment component of IPEDS is to collect unduplicated enrollment counts of all students enrolled for credit and instructional activity data in postsecondary institutions for an entire 12-month period. Data are collected by level of student and by race/ethnicity and gender. Instructional activity is collected as total credit and/or contact hours attempted at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctor's professional levels. Using the instructional activity data reported, a full-time equivalent (FTE) student enrollment at the undergraduate and graduate level is estimated.

A listing of completion counts by Institution name, School year and the type of Degrees.

The dataset provides at a location level, the number of funded Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts (PKC) and Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program (HSSAP) slots. The dataset begins in program year 2014-15 and will be updated quarterly to reflect the current program year funding.

This dataset contains the Industry Certifications offered by each secondary Career and Technical Education (CTE) program for 2016 school year to the current period.

This dataset contains the number of enrollees in each program of every school that reported for the 2015 to current school years.

The information included in this dataset is for the Governor’s Executive Budget and provides key Program Measures by Agency or Office.

Explanation for the 2020 Survey.

This file will be updated each year. It appears to update sometime in December of each year.

Survey/Program:American Community Survey

Universe:Population 18 years and over

Year:2020

Estimates:5-Year

Table ID:B15001

Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, for 2020, the 2020 Census provides the official counts of the population and housing units for the nation, states, counties, cities, and towns. For 2016 to 2019, the Population Estimates Program provides estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities, and towns and intercensal housing unit estimates for the nation, states, and counties.

Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Technical Documentation section.

Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see ACS Technical Documentation). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

The 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the September 2018 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) delineations of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. In certain instances, the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB delineation lists due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities.

Estimates of urban and rural populations, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2010 data. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization.

Explanation of Symbols:

- The estimate could not be computed because there were an insufficient number of sample observations. For a ratio of medians estimate, one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or highest interval of an open-ended distribution.

N The estimate or margin of error cannot be displayed because there were an insufficient number of sample cases in the selected geographic area.

(X) The estimate or margin of error is not applicable or not available.
median- The median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution (for example "2,500-")

median+ The median falls in the highest interval of an open-ended distribution (for example "250,000+").

** The margin of error could not be computed because there were an insufficient number of sample observations.

*** The margin of error could not be computed because the median falls in the lowest interval or highest interval of an open-ended distribution.

***** A margin of error is not appropriate because the corresponding estimate is controlled to an independent population or housing estimate. Effectively, the corresponding estimate has no sampling error and the margin of error may be treated as zero.
