Sage Data, formerly Data Planet, is a database dedicated to providing global and multidisciplinary data, data sets, and statistics. Use it to find data and statistics to support your research, create graphs and charts, or even learn more about using the data and statistics you find.
There are multiple ways to search Sage Data. Start with the Search box or use Browse Data By.
Use the search box to enter your key terms. For example:
"United States" AND "high school" AND completion
Keep in mind that your results will be limited to the terms and phrases you use, so you may need to try synonyms during your search (i.e., graduation or dropout for completion). You can also refine your search results by using the filters on the results page to get more specific data and statistics.
Use the Browse Data By options in the box on the home page to browse data sets by subject, source, or geography. If you're browsing by subject or source, use the menu on the results page to refine your results. If you're browsing by geography, use the map to select a location, and then use the menu to refine your results.
