This report describes and illustrates the Northwest Regional Laboratory's (NWREL) Database and School Profiling project. Uses and implications for future data assembly and database design activities are explained. Analysis of the database has impacted evaluation and policymaking activities regarding at-risk youth, rural education, early childhood education, American Indian education, and local strategic planning activities. Two groups compose the database's content. The first group contains data from the U.S. Census on 1,300 school districts in the Northwest classified according to district size, rurality, and poverty; ethnic composition of districts; dropout statistics; and educational attainment of adults in a district. The second group contains data from state assessment and evaluation files in the Northwest region according to student achievement, attitudes, and behavior; enrollment and attendance; participation in special programs; and teacher experience. The conclusion lists lessons learned, which include difficulties in data gathering such as outdated data and merging data from different sources. It also mentions possible directions for the future, which include using a commercial database. An appendix defines the indicators used in the Oregon district files. (JAM)
