Texas Public Education Information Resource

What Texas Public Education Information Resource does

The Texas Public Education Information Resource (TPEIR) is a joint, cross-agency data warehouse and public reporting project operated by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB). It combines data from the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) PEIMS, THECB CBM reports, Texas Workforce Commission UI wage records, and SBEC educator credentialing data to track Texas public school students from Pre-K through college completion and into the workforce. Output is delivered through an enhanced Microsoft Power BI report format with 'About the Data' landing pages, interactive navigation, and built-in WCAG 2.0 accessibility features, covering five report categories: Early Childhood (Pre-K assessments, outcomes, programs, enrollment, and Kindergarten readiness), High School (AP, dual credit, graduates longitudinal analysis), College (admissions, enrollment, graduation), School to Employment (wages, employment, CTE), and Educators (staff and teachers), with geographic breakdowns at State, Region, County, District, School, and Legislative District levels.

The platform's core technology is an integrated data warehouse fronted by Power BI visualizations, with a 'Find a Report' search tool, data download functionality, and FERPA-compliant publication practices that mask small cell counts. Historical depth extends from 1989/1990 (higher education) and 1990-91 (PK-12 graduation) forward, with UI wage records available from 2011. TPEIR holds no commercial revenue model. Reports are provided at no cost to the general public, education researchers, journalists, policymakers, and Texas public school district staff, with bespoke data requests handled through Public Information Act (PIA) submissions to TEA.

The entity is headquartered within the TEA Research and Analysis Division at 1701 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas, with contact routed through [email protected]. It is a government state entity rather than a commercial enterprise, and consequently does not raise outside capital, pursue monetization, or generate commercial revenue streams. Its operating status remains active, with continuous report updates evidenced through the 2024-2025 school year.

Emerging players

• SchoolDigger: Commercial K-12 data aggregator that pulls state-reported data to rank schools and districts and surface statistics to parents. Comparable to TPEIR in surfacing the same underlying state education data to a general public audience, competing for the same end-user attention.
• GreatSchools: National nonprofit that publishes school-level profiles and performance summaries, primarily for parents. Comparable to TPEIR as a consumer-facing education information resource, though narrower in scope and dependent on third-party state data sources.
• Ed-Fi Alliance: Open-source data standard and community for education interoperability, used by multiple state education agencies to modernize reporting. Comparable to TPEIR in targeting cross-system education data integration for state agencies, though positioned as an enabling technology rather than an end-user reporting portal.

Broad incumbents

• PowerSchool Group: Dominant K-12 student information system vendor that aggregates PK-12 data for districts and states. Comparable to TPEIR as a platform for organizing and reporting education data, though operating as a commercial SIS rather than a public state data warehouse.
• National Center for Education Statistics (NCES): Federal statistical agency that publishes the nation's most widely used education datasets (e.g., CCD, NPSAS, IPEDS). Comparable to TPEIR as a public-sector data publisher on K-12 and higher education outcomes, but operating at federal scale rather than a single state.

Others

• Tableau (Salesforce): General-purpose BI and data visualization platform that state agencies (and education agencies in particular) use as an alternative or complement to Power BI for public reporting. Comparable to the Power BI layer underpinning TPEIR, but positioned as a competing technology stack rather than a content publisher.
• U.S. Census Bureau — Education Data: Federal data program producing demographic and attainment tabulations from the American Community Survey and other sources. Comparable to TPEIR as an authoritative public data provider on education-related outcomes, useful for contextualizing state-level results within national benchmarks.

Direct peers

• Florida Department of Education — Education Information and Accountability Reports: Florida's state-published PK-12 and postsecondary education reporting site covering districts, schools, and state-level outcomes. Directly comparable to TPEIR in scope (statewide, public, free) and primary audience (district staff, parents, researchers).
• New York State Education Department (NYSED) Data Reporting: New York's public K-12 and postsecondary data reporting hub offering district- and school-level outcome reports. Comparable to TPEIR as a statewide free public education data resource with comparable drill-down geography.
• California Department of Education — DataQuest: California's public education data portal providing school- and district-level reports on enrollment, assessment, and graduation outcomes. The closest functional analog to TPEIR as a state-run public reporting site serving districts, researchers, and the general public.
