Private School Locations - Current

The National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) program develops bi-annually updated point locations (latitude and longitude) for private schools included in the NCES Private School Survey (PSS). The PSS is conducted to provide a biennial count of the total number of private schools, teachers, and students. The PSS school location and associated geographic area assignments are derived from reported information about the physical location of private schools. The school geocode file includes supplemental geographic information for the universe of schools reported in the most current PSS school collection, and they can be integrated with the survey files through use of institutional identifiers included in both sources. For more information about NCES school point data, see: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/SchoolLocations and https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/LocaleBoundaries Previous collections are available for the following years: 2023-24 2021-22 2019-20 2017-18 2015-16 All information contained in this file is in the public domain. Data users are advised to review NCES program documentation and feature class metadata to understand the limitations and appropriate use of these data.

美国国家教育统计中心（National Center for Education Statistics，NCES）旗下教育人口与地理估算（Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates，EDGE）项目，会针对纳入NCES私立学校调查（Private School Survey，PSS）的私立学校，每两年更新一次其点位坐标（纬度与经度）。该调查旨在每两年统计私立学校、教师与学生的总规模。PSS的学校点位及关联地理区域分配信息，均源自私立学校物理位置的上报数据。学校地理编码文件涵盖最新一轮PSS学校收集工作中上报的全部学校的补充地理信息，可通过两个数据源共有的机构标识符，与调查文件实现整合。
