Restricted-use datasets from 1990-2016 in comma-separated values (CSV) listing the subject, year, and grade (or age, if long-term trend) are provided in the table below. For restricted-use data (RUD) from 2017-2022, see Statistical Standards Program - Restricted Use Data Licenses. Once the metadata for these RUD products have been entered into the ED Data Inventory, they will be available in the table below. Please check back periodically for updates.

School and student data can be linked to the school data in the Common Core of Data (CCD) from 2000 forward, or the Private School Survey (PSS) from 2002 forward. This linkage will provide extra school information, including ZIP codes. Prior to 2000, there are school ID variables in the NAEP datasets, but none that can be linked to CCD or PSS.
Main NAEP | Variable | Short Label Description |
---|---|---|
school data file | SSCHID | CCD full school identifier |
school data file | SNCESSC | CCD NCES school ID number |
student data file (public school) | NCESSCH | CCD NCES school ID number |
student data file (private school) | PIN | PSS unique school identifier |
Beginning with the 2005 dataset, links to the CCD and PSS files are available in the restricted-use school databases. The SCHREFFI variable indicates the base file (CCD or PSS), while the SCHREFID variable lists the school identification number within the file. In 2005, there were a small number of HSTS schools that were non-participating NAEP schools; but in 2009, all HSTS schools overlapped NAEP, so that a cross-walk can be made from HSTS to the CCD or PSS.
Variable | Description |
---|---|
SCHREFFI | Links to NCES data files (1 = CCD, 2 = PSS) |
SCHREFID | School ID number within the file (in CCD, NCESSCH; in PSS, PPIN; if no linking ID found, UNKNOWN) |
NCESSCH | CCD NCES school ID number |
PPIN | PSS unique school identifier |
Datasets for 2004 also contain variables linkable to CCD and PSS.
Variable | Short Label Description |
---|---|
SCHID | CCD full school identifier |
NCESSCH | CCD NCES school ID number |
PIN | PSS unique school identifier |
