Title of Collection: Private School Universe Survey (PSS) 2023-24
Data Collection, and 2023-24 and 2025-26 PSS Frame Development
Activities.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0641.

collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 27,553.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,897.
Abstract: 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 single-sexed 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. 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. No substantive changes have been made to the survey or
its procedures since its last approved administration. This clearance
is for the 2023-24 PSS data collection, and the 2023-24 and 2025-26 PSS
frame building operations.
