There are a number of online data sources that relate to the NSD data.   These are national data sources.   

Source Link Description
Food and Agricultural Education Information System https://faeis.cals.vt.edu/data-center/ FAEIS, the Food and Agricultural Education Information System, collects higher education data for the life, food, veterinary, human, natural resource, and agricultural sciences. This data is collected annually from institutions that have colleges of Agriculture, Natural Resources, and/or Family and Consumer/Human Sciences.  This data can be connected to the NSD data via institution name. 
Common Core of Data https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/ The Common Core of Data (CCD) is the Department of Education's primary database on public elementary and secondary education in the United States. CCD is a comprehensive, annual, national database of all public elementary and secondary schools and school districts.   Secondary data can be extracted and connected to NSD at the state level. 
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/ It is a system of interrelated surveys conducted annually by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). IPEDS gathers information from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires that institutions that participate in federal student aid programs report data on enrollments, program completions, graduation rates, faculty and staff, finances, institutional prices, and student financial aid. 
Digest of Education Statistics https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/ The primary purpose of the Digest of Education Statistics is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from prekindergarten through graduate school. The Digest includes a selection of data from many sources, both government and private, and draws especially on the results of surveys and activities carried out by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
Title II https://title2.ed.gov/ National teacher preparation data.  Data can be downloaded and contains information on the number of teachers prepared by subject and institution. 
National Teacher and Principal Survey https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ntps/ The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS) is a system of related questionnaires that provide descriptive data on the context of public and private elementary and secondary education in addition to giving local, state, and national policymakers a variety of statistics on the condition of education in the United States. As a nationwide sample survey collecting information directly from teachers and principals, the NTPS provides an opportunity for the characteristics and experiences of school staff to inform analyses about the education sector.   Some data is publically available and some available by restricted use license.  See site.

State Teacher Licensure States have a licensure (credentialing) process that may be housed in the department of education or a separate entity.  Some data such as types of licenses issues may be available publicly.   Other data may be available upon request.

National Student Clearinghouse The Research Center presents the Clearinghouse’s coverage of enrollments at all Title IV eligible degree-granting institutions. The resulting workbook contains detailed coverage calculations by state, sector, and level of institution. It is based on historical IPEDS institutional characteristics data and the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education and therefore captures any changes in institutional sectors and levels that occurred during the years included (2017 to present).  https://nscresearchcenter.org/
