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, indicators needed to help determine program eligibility, and the foundation for determining geographic associations with other types of entities. This document describes the content of geocode files developed for schools and LEAs reported in the 2016-2017 Common Core of Data (CCD) school and agency universe as of November 2017. The CCD universe is a comprehensive collection of public elementary and secondary schools and the LEAs that operate and support them. The CCD provides administrative data about enrollment, staffing, and program participation for schools, LEAs, and states. State education agencies (SEAs) report these data to the U.S. Department of Education in a series of file submissions throughout the school year. The geocode files include the unique school and agency identifiers assigned by CCD, and this shared ID can be used to integrate the geocodes with the CCD directory files.
