Abstract: The Private School Universe 

Survey (PSS) is conducted by the 

National Center for Education Statistics 

(NCES) to collect basic information from 

the universe of private elementary and 

secondary schools in the United States. 

The PSS is designed to gather biennial 

data on the total number of private 

schools, teachers, and students, along 

with a variety of related data, including: 

Religious orientation; grade-levels 

taught and size of school; length of 

school year and of school day; total 

student enrollment by gender (K–12); 

number of high school graduates; 

whether a school is single-sexed or 

coeducational; number of teachers 

employed; program emphasis; and 

existence and type of its kindergarten 

program. The PSS includes all schools 

that are not supported primarily by 

public funds, that provide classroom 

instruction for one or more of grades K– 

12 or comparable ungraded levels, and 

that have one or more teachers. The PSS 

is also used to create a universe list of 

private schools for use as a sampling 

frame for NCES surveys of private 

schools. No substantive changes have 

been made to the survey or its 

procedures since its last approved 

administration. This clearance is for the 

2023–24 PSS data collection, and the 

2023–24 and 2025–26 PSS frame 

building operations.
