Dani, you may want to try the U.S. Dept. of Ed. as well as the various state departments of ed.  Occasionally I use information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics as well. 

You may be able to get some good statistics here:

 I am currently doing a grad research paper on Adult Online Learners and found that the research is kind of thin. It seems most of it is coming from market research specialists. Try these online publications: The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, and Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration
