Files include data at the state, county-level, Reporting District, District of Special Education Accountability (DSEA), and school of attendance levels about SPED Enrollment by Program Setting, including Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), disaggregated by race/ethnicity, disability category, age range, grade span, gender, and English learner status. Please refer to the file structure for details on which data are included in the file.

Data are not included for districts and independently reporting charter schools (IRCs) that did not certify their California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) Fall 1 submission.

Note: To protect student privacy, data may be suppressed (*) on the SPED downloadable files based on a combination of factors, including but not limited to the cell sizes at certain aggregation levels and within selected student populations that are 10 or fewer. For more information about the suppression policies applied to these data, please visit the Data Suppression (Special Education Enrollment by Program Setting Reports) web page.
