Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT) Summary of Scores. Data is reported by High School, School Year and shows the number of students who took the PSAT by grade level, their performance, comparisons with the state and nation. The data also provides the percentage of students considered on track to be college and career ready as measured by the PSAT. Mesa Public Schools students are not required to take the PSAT test. Beginning in the 2015-16 school year, the district committed funds to pay for any and all students who wish to take the PSAT test. High School counselors work with and encourage students directly in taking the PSAT test.

Information about participation in the city's Neighborhood Clean-Up program formerly known as residential Clean Sweep / Green Sweep. This program has benefited residents wishing to clean up portions of their neighborhood. A 30-yard roll-off container is typically used for neighborhood clean up events. The program is funded by a portion of the Mesa Green and Clean Fee and eligible Mesa residents can schedule a neighborhood cleanup event once every 12 months. In addition to resident or Homeowner Association initiated clean-up events, the city also initiates neighborhood clean up efforts in partnership with volunteer groups, PD, Fire or Code Officers. Location information is summarized to the 100-block level and is not an exact location where the clean up event took place.

The Annual Income dataset shows Median Household Income and Per Capita Income for the City of Mesa, and some comparative numbers from other neighboring communities as well as Maricopa County.
Census money income is defined as income received on a regular basis (exclusive of certain money receipts such as capital gains) before payments for personal income taxes, social security, union dues, medicare deductions, etc.
Therefore, money income does not reflect the fact that some families receive part of their income in the form of noncash benefits, such as food stamps, health benefits, subsidized housing, and goods produced and consumed on the farm. In addition, money income does not reflect the fact that noncash benefits are also received by some nonfarm residents which may take the form of the use of business transportation and facilities, full or partial payments by business for retirement programs, medical and educational expenses, etc.

Data users should consider these elements when comparing income levels. Moreover, users should be aware that for many different reasons there is a tendency in household surveys for respondents to underreport their income. Based on an analysis of independently derived income estimates, the Census Bureau determined that respondents report income earned from wages or salaries much better than other sources of income and that the reported wage and salary income is nearly equal to independent estimates of aggregate income.
Census also derives alternative income measures that systematically remove or add various income components such as deducting payroll taxes and federal and state income taxes and including the value of specific noncash benefits, food stamps, school lunches, housing subsidies, health insurance programs, and return on home equity.
These alternative measures are derived from information collected in Census surveys along with information from other agencies such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
