This report introduces the 1999-2000 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) data through tables of estimates for traditional public, private, public charter, and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) schools, school library media centers, public school districts, and the principals and teachers that work in these schools. This report demonstrates the types of information that can be produced with the SASS data. Data are available by state for public schools and by private school affiliation and NCES typology for private schools. Comparisons of key estimates across the four sectors are possible, as well as comparisons across different types of schools, such as community type, region, school level, and school enrollment, are within each sector. |

The Condition of Education summarizes important developments and trends in education using the latest available data. The report, which is required by law, is an indicator report intended for a general audience of readers who are interested in education.

| NCES 2000062 | The Condition of Education, 2000
The Condition of Education is an indicator report, summarizing the health of education, monitoring important developments, and showing trends in major aspects of education. The 65 indicators included examine relationships; show changes over time; compare or contrast sub-populations, regions, or countries; or assess characteristics of students from different backgrounds and types of schools. An indicator is policy relevant and problem oriented; it typically incorporates a standard against which to judge progress or regression. Please remember, however, that indicators are not intended to identify causes or solutions, and cannot individually by themselves provide a completely comprehensive view of conditions in education. |

| NCES 98080 | Choosing a Postsecondary Institution
This report examines the factors that students enrolling in postsecondary education for the first time in 1995-96 considered in choosing their institution. Specifically, it describes the importance of reputation, location, price, and influence and how this varies with student characteristics. The analysis reveals that beginning postsecondary students at both public and private, not-for-profit 4-year institutions were more likely to cite reputation than location, price, or the influence of others as the most important reason for choosing their institution. Beginning postsecondary students at public 2-year institutions mentioned location reasons for choosing their institution more often than reputation, price, or influence factors. |
