NCES Releases 2001-02 Public School Data
NCES has just released the 2001-02 public school data in reports, data files, and web tools. The CCD, a program of the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics, is a comprehensive, annual, national statistical database of information concerning all public elementary and secondary schools (approximately 95,000) and school districts (approximately 17,000). The Public School and District locators allow the user to retrieve information on public schools and districts from CCD's databases. Data include address information and basic information on students, staff, finance and 2000 Census data.
Additionally, the Build a Table Tool enables users to create customized tables of CCD public school data for states, counties, MSA's, districts and schools using data from multiple years.

Postsecondary Education Quick Information System
NCES established the Postsecondary Education Quick Information System (PEQIS) to collect timely data on focused postsecondary education issues needed for program planning and policy development with a minimum burden on respondents. In addition to obtaining information on emerging issues quickly, PEQIS surveys are also used to assess the feasibility of developing large-scale data collection efforts on a given topic or to supplement other NCES postsecondary surveys. This new web site includes access to many publications in an easy to use web format as well as downloadable data files.
