How to Find Primary Schools
A primary school is a public or private educational institution for students up to the fifth, sixth or eighth grade level. The U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) maintains statistical information about every accredited public and private primary school in the United States. The NCES also offers an online search tool you can use to find primary schools within a specified geographical area.
