Explore Your School’s Changing Demographics

Last updated June 23, 2021

US schools have become more racially and ethnically diverse over the past few decades, but these changes have played out differently across the country. Understanding a school’s demographics can inform conversations around school segregation, redistricting, funding, and equity.

Search for your PK–12 school (prekindergarten through 12th grade) to see how student enrollment by race or ethnicity has changed.

About the Data

Data on PK–12 school enrollment by race or ethnicity come from the US Department of Education Common Core of Data. Find other trends about schools, districts, and colleges using the Urban Institute’s Education Data Explorer, which includes three decades of PK–12 and higher education data in one accessible place.
