This report presents findings on the numbers and types of public elementary and secondary schools in the United States and the territories in the 2009-10 school year, using data from the Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey of the Common Core of Data (CCD) survey system. The CCD is an annual collection of data that are reported by state education agencies (SEA) to the National Center for Education Statistics through the U.S. Department of Education's ED"Facts" collection system. The purpose of this report is to introduce new data through the presentation of tables containing descriptive information; therefore, the selected findings chosen for this report demonstrate the range of information available when using the CCD. The Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey can be used to report the numbers and types of schools. The information includes a school's status (new, continuing, closed, etc.), and whether it is a charter school, magnet school, and/or Title I school. The survey can also be used to report the numbers of students and the school's "locale type," that is, whether it is in a city, suburban, town, or rural area. Two appendixes present: (1) Methodology and Technical Notes; and (2) Common Core of Data Glossary. (Contains 7 tables and 3 endnotes.)
