Title of Collection: Private School Universe Survey (PSS) 2023-24
Data Collection Revision.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0641.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
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 National Center for Education Statistics (NCES),
within the U.S. Department of Education, conducts the Private School
Universe Survey (PSS), a national survey of private elementary and
secondary schools. The PSS is designed to collect biennial data on the
total number of private schools, teachers, and students; and to create
an NCES universe frame of private schools that serve as a sampling
frame for NCES surveys. This survey is an ongoing project to improve
NCES universe and sample data on private schools.
The request to conduct the 2023-24 data collection and the 2025-26
PSS list frame building operations was approved in April 2022 (1850-
0641 v.14). This revision addresses changes to communication materials
and modifications to the questionnaire. Changes to the communications
reflect a shift towards focusing on the benefits of participating in
the PSS, including a school's listing on NCES Private School Search
website and having an active NCES ID. Modifications to the
questionnaire include the addition of an item assessing the use of
virtual learning in private schools and modifying item wording to
better align item with item wording on the National Teacher and
Principal Survey (NTPS), which will be in the field for a sample of
private schools during the 2023-24 school year as well.
