Statistics

Rule 803 (8) and (9) specifically excludes from hearsay public records and report along with records of vital statistics.  Currently, under the federal No Child Left Behind statutes, states are required to maintain certain statistics regarding school performance and such.  As this is a requirement of law, several state agencies maintain really nice records where school districts can be compared which can come in handy in custody cases concerning where a child may go to school if one parent has custody over another.
