Texas Public School and District Directory with Contact Information

AskTED is the official Texas Education Directory containing contact and address information for Texas public schools, districts, and Education Service Centers. The dataset includes columns for School Enrollment as of Oct 2024, NCES IDs, and administrative details. It is published by the Texas Education Agency via data.texas.gov and was last updated in May 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze school distribution and density using County Name, ESC Region Geographic, and School City columns.
• Model administrative hierarchies by linking School Number to District Number and ESC Region Served.
• Correlate District Type with metrics like School Enrollment as of Oct 2024 for resource allocation studies.
• Geocode school locations for mapping services using School Street Address, School City, and School Zip.
• Build a contact management system for outreach using School Principal, District Superintendent, School Email Address, and District Email Address fields.

Strengths

• Includes standardized identifiers like NCES School ID and NCES District ID for linking with external datasets.
• Provides enrollment figures as of a specific date (Oct 2024) for current analysis.
• Covers multiple entity types: schools, districts, and Education Service Centers in a single directory.

Limitations

• Unknown total row count and sample size for assessing statistical reliability.
