Private schools
Private schools, from each state’s own list where it publishes one openly: what the state says it does about each school, and what its list leaves out. These lists carry no inspections or test results.
13,868 private schools on the record, in 22 states. From each state’s own published list of private schools: each state’s card and page say what its list covers.
What the count covers
13,868 private schools in the 22 states whose own lists are read so far, each from its state’s own list. States keep different lists: some hold every private school, some only those the state approves or that choose to report, and each state’s page says what its list covers. States with no list we may read aren’t here.
