Longitudinal School Demographic Dataset (LSDD)

The LSDD draws on the National Center for Education Statistics’ Common Core of Data to provide school-level race/ethnicity and free/reduced price lunch eligibility data from the 1991-92 to 2020-21 school years. The LSDD imputes missing and implausible data, improves school ID linkages, and links charter schools to geographic districts, among other data quality improvements.
