Georgia Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) enrollment demographic shares
Georgia Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) enrollment demographic shares. For every Georgia public school, school district, and the state as a whole, the share of enrollment in each of 12 demographic subgroups: six race/ethnicity buckets (Asian/Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic, Native American, Multiracial, White), two sexes (male, female — published 2011 and 2018 onward), and four special populations (migrant — published 2011 onward, economically disadvantaged, students with disabilities, English learners). This topic is COMPUTED from the shared GOSA 'Enrollment by Subgroup Programs' bronze (FTE enrollment disaggregated by subgroup); the companion enrollment_program_participation topic exposes the program-participation side of the same files. enrollment_ratio is the share GOSA publishes for each subgroup: the subgroup's FTE count over the entity's total FTE enrollment (October snapshot denominator). Coverage spans school years 2003-04 through 2023-24. The 2004-2010 files also carry the NCLB-era Met AYP and Improvement Status indicators, denormalized across the 12 demographic rows per entity-year and NULL from 2011 on (AYP retired). Demographics whose column a source year does not publish (pre-2011 migrant/male/female; 2012-2017 male/female) are emitted with NULL enrollment_ratio so the 12-demographic grid is uniform across years.
Filterable categorical columns (comma-separated values union; multiple columns AND together):
- met_ayp — one of: no, yes
- improvement_status — one of: adeq, adeq_dnm, dist, ni, ni_ayp
Detail levels available: districts, schools, states (default: schools)
Year coverage: 2004–2024 (21 years, no gaps)
NULL handling: suppressed cells are NULL (not zero); zero is a real value.
