NAEP Technical DocumentationIneligible Sampled Schools by School Type for the 2007 National Private School 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. The unweighted counts and percents show only schools assigned operational sessions. Schools with unknown affiliation according to the Public School Sample Survey (PSS) now have an affiliation since it was determined during the assessment.
