Actual indicator available - description | The National Center for Education Statistics has not gathered information on student access to computers at school since 1998 (98 percent). We are not aware of any data collection NCES has had of the number or percentage of schools with basic sanitation facilities. There was a physical accommodations survey done in the mid 1970s, but this is no longer at all relevant because it was done so long ago and so much progress has been made both with respect to school improvement and new regulations. We believe that we do have some schools without single-sex bathrooms, primarily because they only have a very small number of students or only serve male or only female students. Fundamentally, this block of indicators is not policy-relevant for the United States. Rather than reporting missing, we are reporting 100 percent which we know is close to the U.S. value and reflects the relatively high quality of the education infrastructure in the United States. |

U.S. method of computation | NCES is estimating the percentages of public schools having these basic facilities at 100 percent. There was a survey in 2008 that found that 98 percent of public schools had computers for student use. We believe the percentage has increased since that date. |
Comments and limitations | The values are estimated, but we are quite sure that the actual values for all of them approach 100 percent. |
