NAEP Technical DocumentationEligibility Status of Sampled Schools for the 2009 Private School National Assessment

The following table presents a breakdown by private school type of ineligible and eligible schools in the fourth-, eighth-, and twelfth-grade private school samples. There are considerable differences across private school types at grades 4 and 8. Schools whose private school type was unknown at the time of sampling subsequently had their affiliation determined during data collection. Therefore, such schools are not broken out separately.
