The U.S. Department of Education hosts data on the Data.Gov platform to offer CSV, XML, JSON and application programming interface (API) access to education data. Below you will find links to selected data resources in various formats. Additional high-value data sets, data visualization tools and resources for the classroom are available in the Education Data Community. To learn more about the types of data in the Education Data Community, see the data.gov frequently asked questions.

For documentation and sample code on how to use the application programming interfaces, please see the Socrata Developer Site and the SODA API examples.
