 The Federal Education Budget Project is pleased to introduce the newest version of its website. The new site includes data on higher education, federal financing, demographics, outcomes, and financial aid use for every state and college or university in the country. These new data build upon an already wide array of K-12 funding, demographics, and achievement data for every state and school district. This video will give you a quick introduction into how to use the website and what information is available on it. Let's say you're interested in learning more about higher education funding in your home state, Maryland. All you need to do is type Maryland into the search bar on the home page and select the correct state you're interested in. This will take you to a page that displays a variety of higher education information on Maryland, such as total Pell Grants received by students attending schools in Maryland, various demographics, and graduation rate for all years available. If you want to learn more about a particular data point, just roll your mouse over the name of that data point. This will display a definition, a link to more information on that particular data point where available, and a link to compare the data from that state with other states. For example, if you are interested in learning about other states where students receive similar total amounts of Pell Grants, all you need to do is click the Compare button. This comparison function shows you the four states that have similar Pell Grant volume to Maryland and allows you to select other indicators of interest for those states. The Federal Education Budget website also includes institution level data for 2006 through 2009. For example, if you are interested in learning more about Illinois State University, just type it into the search bar and select the correct institution. This will display a page with a map of that institution and a host of other information on price, federal financing, demographics, outcomes, and financial aid use. As with the state level data, you can perform comparisons between your institution of interest and other similar institutions by mousing over any data point that you're interested in. Let's transition now to the K-12 data. The FEBP website also has data on every K-12 school district in the country. For example, if you want to learn more about a district like Denver City Independent School District, just type the name into the search bar and select the proper district. This will take you to a page that displays a map of Denver and its surrounding districts and up to five years of data on federal funding, demographics, and achievement. For example, you can learn about federal Title I grant and IDA special education grant allocations, the percent of students living in poverty, and the percent of fourth and eighth grade and high school students scoring proficient and above in math and reading in that district. As with the higher education data, the FEBP K-12 data allow you to compare districts within and across states and to learn more about each data point by clicking Read More. The Federal Education Budget Project website houses a wealth of data on states, K-12 school districts, and institutions of higher education. We hope you find the website helpful and easy to use.
