Combined data from XLS and XLSX format NCES directory files downloaded from the MSDE Data Downloads website. The school name field has been corrected for consistency and accuracy across years and capitalization of the city and address fields have been standardized (previously used all upper case for both prior to 2010). A grade span value is filled in for older records where grade span was stored in the school type column. Last updated 2023-11-28.
