ABSTRACTThe Center for Education Statistics conducted the
1985-86 private school study to collect data on private elementaryand secondary schools and teachers within these schools. This is thefirst national study to collect information directly from privateschool teachers. Representatives of the private school communityhelped develop the study questionnaires, and several private schoolorganizations endorsed the study and helped with data collection. Thestudy was a multistage probability sample of American private schoolsin existence since 1983, the time of the last study. Teachers wererandomly selected from sampled schools by telephone, with an averageof six teachers per school. Of the 1,387 eligible schools, responseswere obtained from 1,174, or 85 percent. A total of 5,295 teacherquestionnaires were completed, for a 76 percent response rate. Theschool questionnaire collected data on religious orientation,enrollment by grade level, teacher salaries, number of paid andvolunteer staff, tuition, types of programs, public funding,attendance requirements, and years of operation. Additionally,secondary school participants answered questions regarding graduationrequirements, advanced placement programs, 1984-85 graduates, andstandardized test scores. The teacher questionnaire obtained data oneducation and training, teaching experience, full- or part-timestatus, teaching assignment, hours spent on school-relatedactivities, salary, opinions on educational goals and progress, anddemographics. A survey form and 30 tables are included. (MLIO

Dear Colleague:
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARYFOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND IMPROVEMENT
CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS
OcT 21 1986
I am pleased to send you the second in our new series of advancepublications on education statistics, I.D. TABS. This report includesearly tabulations from the National Survey of Private Schools, 1985-86.The tabulations and figures are prefaced by a description of the surveymethodology, indicating what the limitations are on the data anddescribing sampling variation briefly; the tables conclude with a copy ofthe questionnaire used to collect the data. This report includes nointerpretation or highlights of findings, nor does it provide crossreferences to other data.
Interested readers will find some anomalies in these tabulations if theyrefer to other data sources. For example, if one compares the preliminaryresults of this study to the same survey conducted by the Center in 1983,the number of Catholic schools appears to have increased, but enrollmentin Cathol;c schools appears to have decl:Ined. These differences are notsignificant; the sampling variation is too large to justify drawing anyconclusion about these changes. Nonetheless, they are evocative becauseone hoeld question how such a result could occur within the sane sample.Further study say show that school consolidations are the reason, or theremay be some other phenomenon occurring. Ve invite review and questioningof the data and the results so me can share a fuller understanding of thedata on private schools.
The purpose of this report is to make preliminary data available from thesurvey; it is only an excerpt of what will be available on the full publicuse data tape. Interested users are encouraged to begin their ownanalyses and to place orders for copies of the data tape. The Center willbe publishing brief bulletins and full reports in tke coming months. Anannouncement will also be made of data tape availability.
I hope you share m7 enthusiasm and interest in this report; I wouldappreciate receiving any comments or questions you may have on itscontent.
Sincerely,

1985-86 Private School StudyFact Sheet
The Center for Education 'Statistics (CES) conducted the 1985-86 Private School Study tocollect data on private elementary and secondary schools and teachers within those schools. Surveyoperatons were performed by Westat, Inc. under contract to CES. This is the first national study tocollect information directly from private school teachers. By collecting information from bothschools and teachers within Ihose schools, the study allows analysis of teacher data by school char-acteristics. Analysis of private school teachers' responses by such school characteristics as religiousorientation and grade level greatly enhances the study results.
Representatives of the community of private schools were involved in the development ofstudy questionnaires. Private school organizations including the Council for American PrivateEducation (CAPE) and the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) endorsed thestudy and assisted with data collection.
Sample Design
The study was a multi-stage probability sample of private schools across the UnitedStates. The first stage was the sampling of 75 areas, and the fl:Zond stage was the selection ofschools within the sampled areas. Finally, teachers were randomly selected from the sampledschools through telephone contact, with an average of 6 teachers per school.The schools within the areas were drawn 'from lists of schools created in the same sampleareas for the 1983 Private School Survey. Since the lists were not updated, schools established
after 1983 were not generally eligible for sampling. The estimates for the 1985-86 Study arevalid for schools that were in existence in 1983. A few estimates contain extrapolations fornewly established schools (based on assumptions made from 1983 survey data).
Data Collection Procedures
During the fall of 1985, the principal of each sampled school was contacted to obtain theschool's participation in the study and to sample up to ten teachers at the school. DuringJanuary 1986, questionnaires were mailed to schools and teachers. Followup for questionnaireand item nonresponse was conducted during the spring of 1986. Item nonresponse not resolvedduring followup was imputed.

School and Teacher Definitions
To be included in th e. study, a school had to meet the following aiteria: it was privatelyadministered, offered instruction at first grade level or above, required atteudance at least fourhours per day and at least 160 days per year, and was not located in a privi te home used as aresidence.
Included in the study as teachers were all persons employed by the school full or parttime whose duties included some teaching. Excluded were teachers paid by public agencies,itinerant teachers, unpaid volunteers, and teacher aides.
Response Rates
Of the 1,387(85 percent) . Acompleted, for a
eligible schools, responses were obtained from 1,174total of 5,295 teacher questionnaires wereteacher response rute of 76 percent.
Type of Data Collected
The scLool questionnaire was designed to collect data for the 1985-86 school year in thefollowing areas:
o Religious orientation,o Enrollment by grade level,o Teacher salaries,o Number of paid and volunteer staff,o Tuition,o Types of programs offered,o Pub-tic funding,o Attendance requirements, ando Years of operation.
4
In addition, a series of questions were completed by schools serving secondary students. Thesequestions obtained information on 1985-86 graduation requirements and advanced placementprograms, and 1984-85 graduates and standardized test scores.
The teacher questionnaire was designed to collect data in the following areas:
o Education and training,o Years of teaching experience,o Full or part time status,o Teaching assignment,o Hours spent on school-related activities,o Salary,o Opinions on education !pals and problems, ando Demographics.

Estimates and Sampling Errors
A very few key estimates are shown in the table below. Since theestimates were obtained from a sample of schools and tachers, theyare subject to auoling variation. An estimate of the magnitude ofthis is the coefficient of variation, calculated as the standarderror of the estimate expressed as a percent of the estimate.Estimated coefficients of variation for a selection of the estimatesin this report ars shown in parentheses in the table below.

NOTE.--Estimates are not adjusted for rchools established since 1983-84.
Nonbampling Error
Survey estimates are subject to er;ors of reporting and errorsmade in the collection of the data. These errors, called nonsamplingerrors, can sometimes bias the data. While general sampling theorycan be used to determine how to estimate the sampling variability ofan estimate, nonsampling errors are not easy to measure and usuallyrequire either an experiment to be conducted as part of the datacollection procedure or use of data external to the study. Suchstudies are part of an ongoing effort to quantify problems in thedata and to correct data collection procedures to eliminate orminimize biases that "Day enter the estimates. Separate reports onsources and measures of nonsampling error will be issued.
