In addition, the conference introduced the Stanford Education Data Archive (SEDA), a dataset of measures of academic achievement and achievement gaps in every public school and school district in the U.S. SEDA is based on student performance on over 200 million tests administered in grades 3-8 from 2009 through 2013. The SEDA data are now publicly available.
