Computer Science Access and Participation Data

The State of AI & Computer Science Education identifies on a school-by-school basis where AI & computer science is taught and to identify disparities in students’ access to and participation in computer science. The annual State of AI + CS Education (published each fall) includes a description and summary of this data.

The interactive visualization below provides data nationally and per state for the most recent school year of data reported in the State of AI & Computer Science Education report. The following data is also available:

• All the raw data for the State of AI & Computer Science Education can be viewed and downloaded here.
• Year-over-year AP computer science exam data can be viewed at code.org/ap.

Below is an overview of each tab:

• Access Report: provides summary statistics, map view, and key graphs on 9–12 computer science access, and allows filtering by state, school district, and school name.
• Access Report: provides summary statistics, map view, and key graphs on high school (grades 9–12) computer science access, and allows filtering by state, school district, and school name.
• Offerings - Districts: provides a list of all school districts along with the percentage of its high schools that offer foundational computer science, plus the total number of high schools and high school students in that district.
• Offerings - Schools: provides a list of all schools (elementary, middle, and high schools) and whether they offer foundational computer science.
• Participation Breakdowns: shows the percentage of 9–12 students enrolled in foundational computer science courses by gender, race/ethnicity, English learner status, free or reduced-price meal eligibility, and special education status (IDEA or Section 504). Data is available for 42 states and is based on state-level aggregates.
• Course List: provides a list of courses that are included in the definition of foundational computer science for each state.
