pointOfContact mapDigital The National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (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 2019-2020 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.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. Point locations of 2019-2020 private schools created by the National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (EDGE) program.

The attributes are accurate against National Standard Codes, Federal Information Processing (FIPS) and the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) at the 100% level for the codes and base names. The remaining attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for accuracy. EDGE performed automated tests to ensure logical consistency and limits of the shapefiles. Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes for states, counties, state legislative districts, and congressional districts are used when encoding spatial entities. EDGE performed spatial data tests for logical consistency of the codes during the creation of the shapefiles. Most of the codes for geographic entities except states, counties, Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs), Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs), New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), state legislative districts, and congressional districts were provided to the Census Bureau by the USGS, the agency responsible for maintaining the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). Feature attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency. Run SAS scripts to perform spatial data tests for logical consistency of the codes during the creation of the shapefiles. 2021-02-02T00:00:00 notPlanned
