Data Requests
The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) is committed to maintaining transparency of government and providing actionable information to parents, educators, and the community. To that end, the ADE provides public data sets and reports that are available and may be immediately downloaded and utilized.
If the available public data sets do not meet your needs, see below for more information on the types of requests that can be submitted.
Data requests may be made for specialized aggregations of data files, customized lists/exports of data, and other items that have not been previously compiled/completed.
Specialized Data Requests | Restricted Data Requests |
The ADE works to address specialized data requests as time and resources allow. Statute, policy, and the ADE Research Agenda guide the ADE's decision for honoring requests. As a result, not all specialized data requests will be fulfilled. Specialized data requests are those requests that are seeking data that is aggregated (school-level, LEA-level, state-level, etc.) and are redacted according to ADE redaction policy. Please note:
When submitting a specialized data request, please be as specific as possible regarding the data elements you are requesting and the intended use of the data to ensure that the ADE is able to process your request in a timely manner. Specialized data requests will be reviewed by the appropriate program area to determine if the request will be fulfilled.
| In order to maintain the strictest privacy protection on personally identifiable and confidential student data, while also support research that is in alignment with statute, policy, and the ADE Research Agenda, the ADE has established a Restricted Data Request Process. Restricted data requests are those requests that are seeking student-level data or aggregated data that has not been redacted. Given the privacy concerns related to the sharing of restricted data, these requests are thoroughly reviewed and vetted prior to the sharing of any data. As a result, not all restricted data requests will be fulfilled. The process for Restricted Data Requests is outlined below.
Please note, advanced statistical analysis skills are required to access data provided through Restricted Data Requests. Requestors must be able to utilize statistical analysis programs (i.e. SAS, SQL, SPSS), join databases and execute queries. The ADE is not able to provide data formatting or perform analysis for requestors.

Please note, all proposals and supporting documents sent to the ADE become public records.
