NAEP Technical DocumentationIneligible Private Schools for the 2009 Science HOT and ICT Assessments

The Private School Universe Survey (PSS) school file from which most of the sampled schools were drawn corresponds to the 2005-2006 school year, 3 years prior to the assessment school year. During the intervening period, some of these schools either closed, no longer offered the grade of interest, or were ineligible for other reasons. In such cases, the sampled schools were coded as ineligible.

The table below presents unweighted counts of sampled private schools by eligibility status, including the reason for ineligibility.
