Introducing the Harmonized Civil Rights Data Collection (H-CRDC)
The Harmonized Civil Rights Data Collection (H-CRDC), created by AdvancED Equity, merges data released between 2011-12 and 2020-21 by the Office for Civil Rights at the US Department of Education. H-CRDC will allow researchers, journalists, policymakers/influencers, and practitioners to examine how various aspects of civil rights enforcement in schools have evolved over the last decade in the US. Key features include:
information on school characteristics and their demographic composition,
school discipline outcomes,
advanced course taking, and
other information collected and released by the Civil Rights Data Collection on public (including charter and magnet) schools in the US.
The H-CRDC also includes information on the school districts (also known as local education agencies) associated with the nation’s public schools. The H-CRDC comprises one main combined data file and 20 module-by-module files, which covers all data elements collected in the CRDC from a near-census of all schools and districts in the United States.
