New U.S. Dept. of Ed. website houses key education data from multiple sources

ED Data Express is an interactive website aimed at making accurate and timely education data available in a single place. Launched today, August  6, by the US Department of Education, the site consolidates relevant data collected by the department from several different sources--including several DOE program offices, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the College Board--and provides search tools that allow users to create individualized reports. Data include results of state tests and the National Assessment of Educational Progress, graduation rates, and school accountability information. ED Data Express also publishes budget figures and demographics. You can read more at the DOE website and access the data at www.eddataexpress.ed.gov.
