lister1-ga,
I think a lot of the information you want is out there and available,
but there are certain constraints in getting hold of it:
--some of the data sets are quite large, and will not fit into an
Excel spreadsheet which maxes out at about 64,000 records
--there isn't a single database, but instead there are three separate
databases: public schools, private schools, and colleges. Each
database is in a separate format.
--a dataset of private schools is available, but must be downloaded
one state at a time
Given the size limits restrictions, the need to download individual
states, and the variet of formats, it is simply too much work to put
this all into a single file for you to download. Even at the maximun
question price of $200, I don't think I would venture to try it.
However, I can certainly point you to all three databases, and provide
instructions for downloading them yourself. You can then massage the
data as you see fit.
Let me know what you think.
