NCES EDGE Public School Geocodes

NCES relies on information about school location to construct school-based surveys, support program administration, identify associations with other types of geographic entities, and to help investigate the social and spatial context of education. EDGE creates and assigns address geocodes (estimated latitude/latitude values) and other geographic indicators to public schools, public local education agencies, private schools, and postsecondary schools. The geographic data are provided for download as shapefiles and are also directly accessible as GIS web services.<br>Geocodes for public schools are based on data reported in the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD), an annual collection of administrative data about enrollment, staffing, and program participation for schools, local education agencies (LEAs), and state education agencies (SEAs). SEAs report these data to the United States Department of Education in a series of file submissions throughout the year. Additional information about the CCD collection and data resources for public schools are available at https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/ccddata.asp.<br><br>***<br>Microdata: Yes<br>Level of Analysis: Individuals - Public Schools<br>Variables Present: Separate Document<br>File Layout: .csv; shapefiles<br>Codebook: No, but there is a definitions document<br>Methods: Yes<br>Weights (with appropriate documentation): N/A<br>Publications: No<br>Aggregate Data: No美国国家教育统计中心（NCES）依托学校位置信息，开展校本调研设计、项目管理支持、关联其他类型地理实体的分析工作，并助力探究教育的社会与空间语境。EDGE 为公立学校、地方公立教育机构、私立学校及高等院校创建并分配地址地理编码（估算经纬度值）与其他地理指标。该地理数据以形状文件（shapefiles）格式提供下载，同时可通过地理信息系统（GIS）网络服务直接访问。 公立学校的地理编码源自美国国家教育统计中心通用数据核心（NCES Common Core of Data，简称CCD）所上报的数据；该数据集为年度行政数据合集，涵盖学校、地方教育机构（LEAs）及州教育机构（SEAs）的招生规模、教职工配置与项目参与情况。州教育机构（SEAs）全年通过多批次文件提交的形式，将上述数据上报至美国教育部。有关CCD数据集及公立学校相关数据资源的更多信息，可访问https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/ccddata.asp查询。 *** 微观数据：是 分析层级：个体层面-公立学校 所含变量：详见单独文档 文件格式：.csv；形状文件（shapefiles） 代码手册：无，但提供定义文档 分析方法：已提供 权重（含配套文档）：不可用 关联出版物：无 聚合数据：无
