Pre-K to Grade 12 Enrollment
About this data:
The following data are public pre-k utilization rates retrospectively collected at the time of kindergarten enrollment. This lagging data reflect whether a student attended pre-k one year (referred here as pre-k 4 at age 4) and/or two years (referred here as pre-k 3 at age 3) prior to their kindergarten enrollment.
Based on the available data, E3 alliance defines public pre-k eligibility as it is reported as part of students’ school records. In the charts below, students are counted as eligible for public pre-k if the student comes from a low-income household and/or a student is determined to have emergent bilingual status at the time of kindergarten enrollment. This definition does not capture every student who might be eligible for public pre-k but it is used as a proxy to most closely measure eligibly from the available data.

Following are items to note:
E3 Alliance relies primarily on data from the University of Texas Education Research Center (ERC). There is a delay in data availability due to state approval within the ERC and analysis time. This data pertains to students from within the state of Texas who are eligible for and/or attend public pre-k. Additionally, this data allows for a longitudinal understanding of pre-k eligibility and attendance.
