The National Center for Education Statistics Releases 2001-02 Public
School Data

     NCES has just released the 2001-02 public school data in reports,
data files, and web tools. The CCD, a program of the U.S. Department of
Education's National Center for Education Statistics, is a
comprehensive,
annual, national statistical database of information concerning all
public
elementary and secondary schools (approximately 95,000) and school
districts (approximately 17,000). The Public School and District
locators
allow the user to retrieve information on public schools and districts
from CCD's databases. Data include address information and basic
information on students, staff, finance and 2000 Census data.
Additionally, the Build a Table Tool enables users to create customized
tables of CCD public school data for states, counties, MSA's, districts
and schools using data from multiple years.
