The information is divided into five sections: (1) the financial context of education in Connecticut, including state, federal, and local expenditures, town wealth and tax rates, and concentration of minority students; (2) enrollment in public and private schools, in programs offering compensatory, special, vocational, and adult education, and in programs for gifted, bilingual, and college-bound students; (3) student achievement and outcomes, covering students' standardized test results and post-high-school activities; (4) school staff statistics, including staff age, ethnic group, sex, salaries, and experience, as well as student-teacher ratios, future teacher supply and demand, and the condition of the teacher retirement system; and (5) public school expenditure per pupil in terms of educational programs, administrative costs, student services, instructional materials, and school maintenance.
