Trends in Computer Science Education: Access, Enrollment, and Performance in CPS High Schools

The last several years have seen high-profile efforts by districts, states, not-for-profit organizations, and the federal government to expand Computer Science (CS) education in K–12 schools in the United States. Beyond simply expanding CS offerings at the K–12 level, these efforts have included adopting curricula and policies with the specific goal of increasing the diversity of students with exposure to CS. In the longer run, the hope is to create a more diverse technology workforce and amore inclusive and collaborative culture within the industry.
