Computer Science Access and Participation Data

The K–12 Computer Science Access Report is a collaborative partnership to identify on a school-by-school basis where foundational computer science is taught and to identify disparities in students’ access to and participation in computer science. The annual State of Computer Science 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 Computer Science Education report. The following data is also available:

• All the raw data for the State of Computer Science Education can be downloaded here.
• AP computer science exam-taking data over time, by gender and race/ethnicity can be viewed at code.org/ap.

An overview of each tab is as follows:

• 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.
• Offerings - District: provides a list of all school districts and shows for each district the percentage of high schools offering foundational computer science, the total number of high schools and high school students within the district.
• Offerings - School provides a list of all schools (elementary, middle, and high school) and whether or not they offer foundational computer science.
• Participation: shows the percentage of 9–12 students enrolled in foundational computer science course by gender, race/ethnicity, English language learners, students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, and special education students who qualify for services under IDEA or section 504. Data is only available for 41 states.
• Course List: provides a list of courses that were included in the definition of foundational computer science for each state.
