Public School Characteristics 2017-18

<div style='text-align:Left;'><p></p><div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>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 NCES EDGE program 
collaborates with the U.S. Census Bureau's Education Demographic, 
Geographic, and Economic Statistics (EDGE) Branch to develop point 
locations for schools reported in the annual CCD directory file. 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. The point locations and administrative 
attributes in this data layer were developed from the 2017-2018 CCD 
collection.
