The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) program develops data resources and information to help data users investigate the social and spatial context of education. School point locations (latitude/longitude values) are a key component of the NCES data collection. These data are needed to address a variety of spatially-oriented tasks and research questions. They provide information needed to construct NCES school-based surveys; they provide indicators needed to help determine program eligibility; and they provide the foundation for determining geographic associations with other types of entities. This document describes the content of geocode files developed for schools reported in the Private School Survey (PSS) collection. The PSS is a biennial collection of private elementary and secondary schools that provides data about enrollment, staffing, type of program, and other basic administrative features. The geocode files include the unique school identifier assigned by PSS, and this shared ID can be used to integrate the geocodes with the PSS program data files.
