This database was last updated in January 2013 and should only be used as a historical snapshot of data from the 2009-10 school year. For more recent data on public and charter schools, check out Miseducation.
ProPublica analyzed federal education data from the 2009-2010 school year to examine whether states provide high-poverty schools equal access to advanced courses and special programs that researchers say will help them later in life. This is the first nationwide picture of exactly which courses are being taken at which schools and districts across the country. More than three-quarters of all public school children are represented. Read our story and our methodology.

Clinton Valley Elementary School, part of the Chippewa Valley Schools district, is located in Clinton Township, Michigan. The school reports an enrollment number of 365 students in grades pre-kindergarten through five, and it has 17 teachers on staff.
Clinton Valley Elementary School is below the state average but above the district average for the percentage of its students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. On average, 38 percent of students in Michigan qualify for free or reduced-price lunch programs, whereas 36 percent of Clinton Valley Elementary School students qualify. At the district level, 16 percent of students qualify.
ProPublica's analysis found that all too often, states and schools provide poor students fewer educational programs like Advanced Placement, gifted and talented programs, and advanced math and science classes. Studies have linked participation in these programs with better outcomes later in life. Our analysis uses free and reduced-price lunch to estimate poverty at schools. We based our findings on the most comprehensive data set of access to advanced classes and special programs in U.S. public schools — known as the Civil Rights Data Set— released by the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.
The school hasn't reported or may not have a gifted and talented program.
Clemente, Roberto Academy, in Detroit, Mich., is a higher-poverty school than Clinton Valley Elementary School, with 100 percent of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school hasn't reported or may not have a gifted and talented program.
These data points were reported by schools and districts to the Office for Civil Rights. For more information about the data, see our full methodology.
