This factsheet uses information reported through the Head Start Program Information Report (PIR) to describe Head Start preschool programs, participants, families, and staff during the 2015-2016 program year. CLASP’s factsheets serve as a unique resource for early childhood policymakers, researchers, and advocates who want to better understand Head Start preschool participants and services.

Factsheets on Early Head Start and Migrant and Seasonal Head Start are also available.

State-specific analysis of Head Start PIR data is available on request. Please contact Ruth Cosse
