Why coverage is 98.0%
5,388 of 5,500 district-by-topic cells have a published figure; 0 are withheld by the agency and 112 are documented as not published.
Programs
388 of 500. Course catalogue and course enrollment: 500 districts. Notes differ by district. One example: No course catalogue or course-by-course enrollment is published for Minnesota: MDE's course catalogue is an interactive report with no file of every district to download. The course-taking figures shown, where there are any, are from MDE's 2024 course-taking file. Course taking (college and career readiness coursework): 112 districts. Notes differ by district. One example: MDE's 2024 course-taking file shows no college and career readiness coursework figure for Yinghua Academy, which has no school serving grade 9 or above among its school pages, so none is shown. The file's other indicators for it are listed on this page as not shown, with the reason; they are not shown for any Minnesota district.
Limitation
No school-level spending is published for Minnesota: MDE's site-level expenditure report runs one district or school at a time, with no file of every school to download.
Limitation
No course catalogue or course-by-course enrollment is published for Minnesota: MDE's course catalogue is an interactive report with no file of every district to download. The course-taking figures shown, where there are any, are from MDE's 2024 course-taking file.
Limitation
No statewide discipline file was collected for Minnesota: MDE's discipline data is an interactive report with no file of every district to download. No discipline figure is published.
Limitation
No audit document is linked: DistrictFacts links no Minnesota audit document. The finance figures shown are MDE's Financial Profile reports and General Fund balance file as published; those files do not call them audited.
Limitation
The Minnesota Department of Revenue's Property Tax History report for school districts (taxes payable 2022 to 2026) lists school districts and has no row for Yinghua Academy or for any other charter school, so no tax rate is shown.
Limitation
MDE's levy limitation and certification workbooks (Pay 22 to Pay 26) list school districts and have no row for Yinghua Academy or for any other charter school (district type 07), so no levy is shown. Its revenue by source is shown from MDE's Financial Profile.
Limitation
MDE's 2024 course-taking file shows no college and career readiness coursework figure for Yinghua Academy, which has no school serving grade 9 or above among its school pages, so none is shown. The file's other indicators for it are listed on this page as not shown, with the reason; they are not shown for any Minnesota district.
