Georgia Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) Retained K-12 dataset

Georgia Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) Retained K-12 dataset. For every Georgia public school, school district, and the state as a whole, reports the total number of students retained (held back) in grades K-12 during the school year, the total K-12 enrollment (2011 onward only), and a demographic breakdown of the retained population — counts and shares of retained by race and gender. The race axis carries six canonical codes (native_american, asian_pacific_islander — the bronze Asian/Asians label is a combined Asian/Pacific Islander bucket, with no separate Pacific Islander row — black, hispanic, multiracial, white); gender is male/female. Coverage spans the 2003-04 school year (filename year 2004) through the 2023-24 school year (filename year 2024) — 21 files.

Filterable categorical columns: none

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.
