# Annual student mobility (churn) rate for Georgia public schools and districts, published by GOSA for school years 2011-1

`GET /api/v1/education/student_mobility_rate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://georgiacivicdata.org`
- URL: `https://georgiacivicdata.org/api/v1/education/student_mobility_rate`
- Auth: none declared

Annual student mobility (churn) rate for Georgia public schools and districts, published by GOSA for school years 2011-12 through 2023-24 (filename year = ending calendar year, e.g. 2024 = 2023-24). Mobility is the share of students enrolled at any point during the school year but not for the full year; GOSA computes it as a churn rate — student entries plus withdrawals between the fall count date and May 1, over the fall-count enrollment — so it counts moves rather than movers and can legitimately exceed 100%. One fact table at two detail levels: school (one row per school) and district (one row per district / system). No demographic breakdowns. Merges the formerly separate student_mobility_rates_school and student_mobility_rates_district topics.

**Filterable categorical columns:** none

**Detail levels available:** districts, schools (default: `schools`)

**Year coverage:** 2012–2024 (13 years, no gaps)

**NULL handling:** zero is a real value.

**Source:** GOSA
