Selection and source notes

This list covers non-charter public K–12 school profiles. Charter schools are separated into the charter/private article so the categories do not overlap.

COSMIQ public-school profiles record 2022 as the source year for enrollment. The list is limited to profiles with reported enrollment in the underlying data.

Source references: COSMIQ education profiles; National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data (CCD).

The article includes 50 profiles from the largest available enrollment estimates in this category. This is a size-based selection, not a “best schools” or academic-quality ranking.

Editorial note: COSMIQ has not independently evaluated or endorsed the listed institutions. Profile availability and source years vary; readers should consult each institution for current details.
