About NHES

The National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) was developed by NCES to complement its school-based and institutional surveys (surveys of students, teachers, school administrators, and administrative records). Surveys that comprise the NHES are integral data collection tools for addressing topics that cannot be studied efficiently through institutional data collections. Those data collections provide a wealth of information but cannot tell us about learning that occurs outside of the formal education structure (such as homeschooling or early childhood education) or how families interact with and view the education system. By surveying households, the NHES allows NCES to generate a richer, more comprehensive view of American education.

Data Organization

Each table has an associated excel and excel SE file, which are grouped together in a folder in the dataset (one folder per table).

In the root folder, there is a catalog csv that provides a crosswalk between the folder names and file names and the original table titles.

In addition to the tables, this project contains (1) codebooks for NHES generated in NCES datalabs and found in the NCES resource library, (2) questionnaires for NHES downloaded from the study website and (3) documentation and user manuals related to NHES found in the NCES resource library.
