This datafile contains school IDs that can be linked to the public-use U.S. PIRLS and ePIRLS 2016 datafiles to allow for merging with data from the Common Core of Data (CCD) and Private School Universe Survey (PSS). This datafile can only be obtained by those who apply for a restricted-use license through NCES. Information on how to merge the restricted-use datafile with the U.S. PIRLS and ePIRLS 2016 public-use datafile is included.
A User Guide to the data is included in the
U.S. PIRLS and ePIRLS 2016 Technical Report and User's Guide, which is available online separately (publication number
2019113).
