EDUCATIONAL DATA SET 1
The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS)
ECLS-K Longitudinal Kindergarten-First Grade Public Use Child File
The ECLS is a national study developed by the National Center for Educational Statistics, a unit within
the U.S. Department of Education. Starting with 21,260 kindergarten children in the fall of 1998, the study was
designed to follow the cohort (or subsets of the cohort) through third grade. According to the Base Year
Manual:
The ECLS-K has several major objectives and numerous potential applications. The ECLS-K
combines elements of (1) a study of achievement in the elementary years; (2) an assessment of
the developmental status of children in the United States at the start of their formal schooling
and at key points during the elementary school years; (3) a cross-sectional study of the nature
and quality of kindergarten programs in the United States; and (4) a study of the relationship of
family, preschool, and school experiences to children’s developmental status at school entry
and their progress during the kindergarten and early elementary school years (pg 1-1).
The original study has be augmented to include data collection points at the end of fifth, eighth, tenth
and twelfth grades. Currently, data files are available through fifth grade. The data files contain many, many
variables! The kindergarten-first grade file contains data on 17,212 children. Data for all four time points were
collected only on a subset of children; we created an SPSS data file on those children (N = 5,428), using only a
small subset of variables. To simplify matters, we deleted all cases missing any values on any of the variables
contained in the file. Subsequently, we examined the file for cases that might be considered extreme outliers;
that is, cases having very unusual combinations of values on the variables. When we finished, we had a file of
2,577 complete cases. The variables in the file are listed and described below. The data were collected over
four time points, Fall and Spring in both Kindergarten and First Grade. Those time points appear as part of the
variable name if appropriate: 1, 2, 3, and 4. In addition, some of the data were collected on the child, in which
case the variable name begins with a “c.” Some of the data were provided by parents and teachers, in which
case the variable name begins with a “p” or ‘t”, respectively.
In passing, we should note two features of the full ECLS-K data file that we have ignored. First, the
sampling procedure employed complex multi-stage cluster sampling. Generally, at the first stage, primary
sampling units (PSU) were sampled from a list of PSUs, which are essentially geographic areas consisting of
counties or groups of counties. In the second stage, schools were selected from within the selected PSUs. At
the third stage, children were selected from within the selected schools. Thus, the data set has a hierarchical,
or nested structure. “Real” analyses of these data would employ more sophisticated statistical procedures
than those that we discuss in this introductory course. Hierarchical Linear Models (HLM) or multi-level analyses
should be used. The second issue that we have chosen to ignore is “sample weights.” In creating this large,
nationally representative sample, some “groups” of children were “over-sampled” to provide a sufficient
number of cases to yield stable statistical estimates of their characteristics. Sampling statisticians have
provided sample weights to allow for over- under-sampling and non-reponse rates. Again, in “real” analyses of
these data, these sample weights should be taken into consideration.
The frequencies in the codebook reflect the values for the original, complete ECLS-K data file.
