About PlainSchools

PlainSchools provides factual data on every public school and district in the United States. Our data comes directly from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), part of the US Department of Education.

Unlike rating sites that reduce complex institutions to a single number, we present the data as-is: enrollment, demographics, student-teacher ratios, funding sources, and more. We believe parents and researchers deserve complete information, not oversimplified scores.
