Stats in Brief: Profile of State Data Capacity in 2018: Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) Survey Descriptive Statistics

This Statistics in Brief provides aggregate information from the 2018 SLDS Survey about states and territories that connect data from different sources in their SLDSs. It examines what types of K12 data states include in their SLDSs, states' capacity for linking K12 student data in the SLDS to other data, how those data are linked, whether states publish data dictionaries and align their data to the Common Education Data Standards, and how states use data for reporting and decisionmaking.
