Tribal Affiliation: WISEdata
New for 2021-22 school year.
The Tribal Affiliation data element allows schools to collect and report tribal affiliations for Native American students, which can help to develop, test, and demonstrate the effectiveness of services and programs to improve education achievements of Native American children and youth.
This data element can be collected for students whose race is reported as American Indian or Alaska Native. For more information on race and ethnicity data, refer to the Race and Ethnicity data element page.
This data element is not required for public or Choice schools but is highly recommended.
