Description:

Abstract:

Quality of life information is important to Virginia's economic growth. Locations and proximity information of public schools is now available. This information represents elementary, middle, secondary, special education, governor's schools and vocational education facilities throughout Virginia. The information includes those schools open for the school year 2006-2007.

Purpose:

The purpose of this data is to provide a geographic representation of the location of the public schools in Virginia.

Supplemental_Information:

This information ties into other reports from the VDOE website. SOL scores data can be joined to this shapefile on the VDOE_ID field.

Process_Description:

The site location of each school was digitized using a listing provided by the Virginia Department of Education and data from the National Center for Education Statistics, geocoded using street addresses, and then confirmed using the 2002 VBMP aerial imagery, RCL, Local GIS sites, and multiple aerial photography sources, along with the school web sites. The digitized point was chosen based upon the center of the school building or cluster of buildings. The projection of the digitized data set is in Lambert Conformal Conic, allowing use of this information with other VEDP coverages.
