How to cite and connect this page.
Citation pattern
Cite the metric as K12 Atlas, release v2026.07, with the named source and vintage shown on this page. Do not cite it as a live real-time measurement.
Internal-link role
This page is the source-backed node for related explainers, glossary definitions, state hubs, and the sample report. It should receive links from at least two pages and link outward to at least four.
CSV role
The CSV is intentionally a summary slice. It proves the field shape and source logic while keeping the full paid sheet separate.
Review rule
Before each release refresh, rerun the mart query, update the number, and keep the old framing only if the source and vintage still match.
