This article describes both the historical and current roles that educational statistics play in the National Center for Education Statistics and the more recently established National Library of Education. Discussed are several sources and publications that Dr. Grant has found to be the most helpful in his long career of responding to diverse and far-reaching queries on American education.
He draws on population, economic and education surveys; census results; directories of U.S. school districts; reports on enrollment, staff and revenues of elementary, secondary and post-secondary institutions; and state assessments of educational progress in the U.S. In particular are cited 3 annual publications from the National Center for Education Statistics which provide inquirers with the most
wide-ranging and indispensable information on American education.
