In this appendix, we discuss the potential benefits of merging E&S survey data with those from the CCD, ELK, and NELS:~. Table D-1 lists the measures available from the E&S survey anti indicates where comparable measures are available in the other datasets.

NELS:~S measures are from the secon(1 follow-up, which occurred during the 1991-1992 school year, when most students were in twelfth grade. It is important that researchers planning to create combined E&S/NELS:~S data files use E&S survey data from the appropriate year: for example, the 1992 E&S survey data for those using data from the second NELS:~S follow-up.

STUDENT DISCIPLINE, GIFTED AND TALENTED, AND ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE E&S contains information about the number of student disciplinary actions broken down by various student characteristics. Surprisingly, neither ECES-K nor NELS:~S provi(les such information, although this information is available on MEASURING ACCESS TO LEARNING OPPORTUNIT NELS:~S on sampled students.

E&S contains information about the number of students in each disability category that spend less than 21 percent, between 21 anti 60 percent, anti more than 60 percent of their time in regular cIassrooms. ECES-K contains a very broad measure indicating whether special education students spend most of their day in or out of the regular classroom, as well as more detailed information on sampled students receiving special education services.

NELS:~S inclu(les measures indicating the number of twelfth gra(lers taking AP courses anti the percent of the overall student body taking AP courses, and NELS:~S transcripts actually recor student enrollment in AP courses. However, the NELS:~S (lata are likely to be outdated, as the AP program has mushroomed in the last (leca(le.

SUMMARY In some areas, such as the number and characteristics of students and teachers and the raw number of English-language learners and special education students in each school, data on the E&S survey are available on other federal datasets. In several other APPE N DIX D areas, however, such as student discipline and special education mainstreaming, E&S appears to be an important source of national data and is certainly the only dataset containing such information on the entire population of U.S.
