Open prefilled correction emailData Corrections
If you believe any data displayed on PlainSchools is inaccurate, please email us with the specific page URL and the correction (this link opens with /tools/saved-schools prefilled). We source our data from publicly available government and institutional datasets and update regularly. Because our figures come directly from federal sources such as the NCES Common Core of Data, most corrections turn out to be either a display issue on our end or a value that has since been revised upstream by the agency. In both cases we will reply to tell you which it was and exactly what we changed. Material publisher-side fixes are listed on the changelog.
Response Time
A reported error is checked against the federal file the figure comes from. A confirmed error is corrected in the data and on the page, or noted on the page until the next load of that file, and the changelog records the change. If your message is time-sensitive, say so in the subject line.
Editorial Corrections Process
When you report a factual error, please include (a) the exact URL of the affected page, (b) the field or sentence you believe is wrong, (c) what the correct value should be, and (d) a link or citation to the official source. For data that originates from a government agency, we will usually need to wait for the next upstream refresh to correct the underlying record, but we can often annotate the page with a correction notice in the meantime. We do not remove accurate information just because it is unflattering; we will consider removal requests only where the information is materially inaccurate, outdated, or subject to a legal right under applicable law.

Before You Write
Many questions are already answered on the site. If you are trying to understand how a number was calculated or where it came from, our methodology page documents each data source and the formula behind every metric. If you are looking for a specific school, district, or state, the search box at the top of any page is the fastest route, and most pages link out to the underlying federal record. Including the exact page URL and what you expected to see helps us resolve it on the first reply rather than the third.
Editorial Independence
PlainSchools is an independent publisher of plain-language reference data on U.S. public schools. No school, district, or state we cover can pay for placement or influence. PlainSchools accepts no sponsorship or promoted placement and is funded solely by contextual Journey by Mediavine advertising. Decisions about which data we surface and how we present it are made independently by PlainSchools.

Who Publishes This
PlainSchools is published by Kiznis Studio, an independent studio that builds data sites with AI agents working under rules set by its one operator. The agents load the federal files and write the code and the text; scripted checks keep each page's figures consistent with each other and within plausible bounds before it is published. To ask about a school's numbers, report an error or reach the publisher for any other reason, write to hello@plainschools.com.
