Public School Characteristics 2020-21

<div style='text-align:Left;'><p>The National Center for Education Statistics' (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (EDGE) program develops annually updated point locations (latitude and longitude) for public elementary and secondary schools included in the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD). The CCD program annually collects administrative and fiscal data about all public schools, school districts, and state education agencies in the United States. The data are supplied by state education agency officials and include basic directory and contact information for schools and school districts, as well as characteristics about student demographics, number of teachers, school grade span, and various other administrative conditions. CCD school and agency point locations are derived from reported information about the physical location of schools and agency administrative offices. <span>The point locations and administrative
attributes in this data layer were developed from the 2020-2021 CCD collection.</span> For more information about NCES school point data, see: <a href='https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/SchoolLocations' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/SchoolLocations</a>.
