Abstract: This Public Schools feature dataset is composed of all Public elementary and secondary education facilities in the United States as defined by the Common Core of Data (CCD, https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/), National Center for Education Statistics (NCES, https://nces.ed.gov), US Department of Education for the 2022-2023 school year. This includes all Kindergarten through 12th grade schools as tracked by the Common Core of Data. Included in this dataset are military schools in US territories and referenced in the city field with an APO or FPO address. DOD schools represented in the NCES data that are outside of the United States or US territories have been omitted. Complete field and attribute information is available in the "Entities and Attributes" metadata section. Geographical coverage is depicted in the thumbnail above and detailed in the Place Keyword section of the metadata. This release includes the addition of 2,556 new records, modifications to the spatial location and/or attribution of 99,712 records.

Purpose: This feature class/shapefile captures Public Schools defined by the Common Core Data (CCD) for the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) database. (https://hifld-geoplatform.hub.arcgis.com/)

Process step:

Description: Authoritative data sources are identified through open source research. That data is then acquired and transformed into a usable data format. The properly formatted data then goes through preprocessing steps that includes a geocoding operation to give spatial context to the data. The data goes through further refinement using remote sensing techniques. After preprocessing, every record goes through a review process and each point is moved to a facility based on-entity location based on interpretation of the best available imagery and open source information. Public Schools that are part of a multi-building campus were located on a large building towards the center of campus. The VAL_DATE field indicates the date in which the review step took place.

Data quality report:

Quantitative attribute accuracy:

Measure produced by the test: No formal attribute accuracy test was conducted. Data from the authoritative sources (as identified in other sections of this metadata) is assumed to be correct and accurate. See also "Overview Description" in the "Entities and Attributes" metadata section.

Data quality report:

Conceptual consistency:

Measure produced by the test: Data were extracted from sources (identified in the SOURCE field) and other open source websites to populate the attribute fields. For string and date data types, NOT AVAILABLE values denote missing data that was not present in the source data. For numeric data types, -999 denotes missing data that was not present in the source data. For text fields sourced to NCES CCD, 'M' indicates that a value for that record is 'missing' (A value was expected and none was reported) and 'N' indicates that the data is 'Not applicable'. For numeric fields sourced to NCES, -1 indicates missing, not available, or not reported data items and -2 indicates 'not applicable' data items. During quality control, attributes were checked to ensure that they fell within the expected ranges or had expected/valid values. Text attribute values were checked for spelling and usage consistency. No topology tests were conducted. All records were verified to occur within the spatial domain of the feature class/shapefile.
