Background
California Education Code (EC) Section 47607(d)(1) requires the California Department of Education (CDE) at the conclusion of the year immediately preceding the final year of the charter school's term and upon request by a charter school authorizer, to provide the following aggregate data reflecting pupil enrollment patterns at the charter school:
- A) The cumulative enrollment for each school year of the charter school’s term. For purposes of this chapter, cumulative enrollment is defined as the total number of pupils, disaggregated by race, ethnicity, and pupil subgroups, who enrolled in school at any time during the school year.
These data, for academic years 2016–17 to present, are publicly available at Cumulative Enrollment Data.
- B) For each school year of the charter school’s term, the percentage of pupils enrolled at any point between the beginning of the school year and census day who were not enrolled at the conclusion of that year, and the average results on the statewide assessments in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress system, or any successor system, for any such pupils who were enrolled in the charter school the prior school year.
Please review the table below for years of available data upon request by a charter school authorizer.
- C) For each school year of the charter school’s term, the percentage of pupils enrolled the prior school year who were not enrolled as of census day for the school year, except for pupils who completed the grade that is the highest grade served by the charter school, and the average results on the statewide assessments in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress system, or any successor system, for any such pupils.
Please review the table below for years of available data upon request by a charter school authorizer.
The following table provides, by academic and assessment year, the availability of the additional enrollment data, pursuant to EC Section 47607(d)(1)(B) and (C). Please refer to the Assembly Bill 1505: Data Files Reflecting Student Enrollment Changes Webinar (PDF) slide deck from the October 20, 2020, webinar for more information about these data.

Enrollment Data Requests
These data are available to authorizing school districts by request. Requests should be submitted by email to the CDEDataRequests@cde.ca.gov and include the following information:
- Authorizing School District Name
- School Year(s)
- EC Section 47607(d)(1)(B) and/or (C)
Note: Upon receiving a request, the CDE will provide the requested data through a secure link. Up to eight files will be provided per authorizing school district. School districts will receive data of all schools within their own district; no other data (i.e., data of other school districts) will be made available for comparison. The number of schools in each file may differ based on charter school/Dashboard Alternative School Status (DASS). School districts with charter schools that are located within their geographic boundaries but that are authorized by another entity (i.e., California State Board of Education or county office of education) who are required to review those charter schools' renewal petitions, must include in their request the full names and County-District-School (CDS) codes of the charter schools.
