FACTS

  • An online database showing arts education access and enrollment in Ohio schools has launched, announced by a partnership of the Ohio Arts Council (OAC), Ohio Alliance for Arts Education (OAAE), Ohio Department of Education, and New Jersey-based research firm Quadrant Research.
  • Since 1989, the three Ohio statewide agencies have worked together periodically to gather data and report on the status of arts education in Ohio’s schools.
  • Now more comprehensive information is available through advanced technologies, and arts education data from preK-12 schools throughout the state is available online.
  • Users may review school-level, district, county, and statewide data. The interactive, color-coded dashboard displays arts access and enrollment data for Ohio’s preK-12 schools as reported annually via the state’s Education Management Information System (EMIS).
  • Data from ensuing school years will be added annually, allowing the project to show the status of arts education over time.
  • Demographic data is from the National Center for Education Statistics.
