The Private School Universe Survey (PSS) is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to
collect basic information from the universe of private elementary and secondary schools in the United States. The PSS
is designed to gather biennial data on the total number of private schools, teachers, and students, along with a variety
of related data, including: religious orientation; grade-levels taught and size of school; length of school year and of
school day; total student enrollment by gender (K-12); number of high school graduates; whether a school is singlesexed or coeducational; number of teachers employed; program emphasis; and existence and type of its kindergarten
program. The PSS includes all schools that are not supported primarily by public funds, that provide classroom
instruction for one or more of grades K-12 or comparable ungraded levels, and that have one or more teachers. No
substantive changes have been made to the survey or its procedures since its last approved 2017-18 administration
(OMB# 1850-0641 v.8). The PSS is also used to create a universe list of private schools for use as a sampling frame for
NCES surveys of private schools. The request to conduct the 2019-20 and 2021-22 PSS data collections, and the 202122 PSS list frame building operations was approved in April 2019 (1850-0641 v.9). This request is to amend the PSS
2019-20 and 2021-22 record with the finalized “PSS 2019-20 and 2021-22 Response to 30-day Public Comments”
document.
