For details on modifications to these files and the file structure, refer to the Changes to the Public Schools File Web page.

Special Note: These files contain schools that are currently open, schools that have been closed, and school codes that have been retired. We are including all schools so you can match school names to prior year files. If you have any questions regarding this file, please call 916-327-0219.
