What's new:

Six Years of Staff Data: Teacher demographics, experience, per-pupil ratios and more!

Recently, the California Department of Education released new and improved staffing data. In response, we've revised and reorganized many of the staff data charts on Ed-Data. Here are some of the changes:

1. Teachers are counted differently. In the new data files, certificated staff who are not actively instructing students are now classified as non-instructional support staff and counted separately from teachers. As a result, the "Teachers" graph on Ed-Data has been renamed "Certificated Staff" and you can drill in for detailed demographics for teachers and non-instructional support staff. At the district, county and state level, you can also find counts of teachers by grade span. 
2. More teacher experience data. In addition to the number of first- and second-year teachers, who are considered inexperienced, and the average years teaching in the district, we have a new graph that shows the number of experienced vs. inexperienced teachers. 
3. New staff education graph. You can now view degrees attained by teachers, administrators, pupil-services and non-instructional support staff. 
4. New school type drill in. At the state, county and district level, you can now disaggregate the data by charter or non-charter, or view for all schools. 
5. New data elements in comparisons: You can also compare schools or districts on factors such as teacher counts and per-pupil ratios. Plus, we've added two new data elements: counts of experienced teachers and inexperienced teachers.

These data are available at the school, district, county and statewide levels. To get to the data, use the menus at the very top to navigate to staff demographics, or click on the staff tab when viewing a school, district, county, or the state profile. Scroll down for a complete list of what's included in this release.

Learn more about the financial data on Ed-Data here. 

Average Daily Attendance

California funds schools based on Average Daily Attendance (ADA), which is the total number of days of student attendance divided by the total number of days taught. Generally, ADA is lower than enrollment due to such factors as transience, dropouts, and illness.

Visit the Student Demographics section to see updated 2023-24 ADA for districts and statewide. 

Teacher Salaries

Teacher salaries, negotiated locally through collective bargaining agreements between a district and its union, vary widely across California. The J-90 survey provides district-data on average teacher salaries, the change over time, and the salary schedule.

Navigate to the Teacher Salary section in the Staff tab of a school district profile to see the data. Please note that the J-90 survey is voluntary and not all districts report their teacher salaries. Salary data are not available at the school level.

What's Next
