Digital Literacy and Computer Science Course Enrollment in Massachusetts K-12 Schools

Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education data shows the number and percentage of students in public and charter schools completing at least one Digital Literacy or Computer Science course. The dataset includes counts and percentages for each grade from kindergarten through 12th grade, aggregated by school and district. It was last updated on May 13, 2026, and is published by educationtocareer.data.mass.gov.

Use Cases

• Analyze enrollment disparities across grades using G01_CNT through G12_CNT and corresponding _PCT columns.
• Compare course-taking rates between school types (e.g., charter vs. public) using ORG_TYPE and ALL_GRADES_PCT.
• Assess district-level participation by aggregating student counts from TOTAL_CNT and percentages from ALL_GRADES_PCT grouped by DIST_NAME.
• Investigate enrollment by student subgroup using STU_GRP in conjunction with grade-level count and percentage columns.

Strengths

• Data is disaggregated by individual grade from K-12, as shown by columns like GK_CNT, G01_CNT, through G12_CNT.
• Includes both raw counts (e.g., TOTAL_CNT) and normalized percentages (e.g., ALL_GRADES_PCT) for analysis.
• Covers both public and charter schools across Massachusetts, as indicated by ORG_TYPE and the description.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
