This is another resource that dovetails nicely with my last post. FedStats is a collection of data and statistics from over 100 government agencies including: National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance [Institute of Education Sciences, Dept of Education], National Center for Education Statistics [Dept of Education], and the Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Policy [Dept of Education].

This edition of Projections of Education Statistics provides projections for key education statistics, including enrollment, graduates, teachers, and expenditures in elementary and secondary schools. Included are national data on enrollment and graduates for the past 15 years and projections to the year 2016, as well as state-level data on enrollment in public elementary and secondary schools and public high school graduates to the year 2016.
State-level data on enrollment and graduates in private schools are not included. Further research and model development are needed to develop reliable projections of private school enrollment and graduates by state. Projections also exclude the number of students who are homeschooled because more data are required to develop reliable projections.
Similar methodologies were used to obtain a uniform set of projections for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. These projections are further adjusted to agree with the national projections of public elementary and secondary school enrollment and public high school graduates contained in this report.
The summary of projections provides highlights of the national and state data, while the reference tables and figures present more detail. Although rounded numbers are presented in the tables, percentages are based on unrounded numbers.
