This CD-ROM contains PISA 2015 restricted-use data for Massachusetts, which participated in PISA separately from the nation. The CD-ROM includes all data files connected to data collection in Massachusetts: student, teacher, and principal/school files. These files also include a unique NCES school ID number that can be used to merge the data files with other public NCES datasets, such as the Common Core of Data (CCD) and Private School Survey (PSS). As these data files can be used to identify respondent schools, a restricted-use license must be obtained before access to the data is granted. Click on the restricted-use license link below for more details. Users of these data files are encouraged to refer to the PISA 2015 Technical Report, which provides details on the methods and operations used in collecting the data. The PISA 2015 Technical Report can be found at https://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2017095.
