The general types of schools or other organizational entities providing instruction are included in this dimension. An instructional organization is coded by a single digit.

Wherever it does not comply exactly, being in more detail or less, school officials can combine subdivisions or omit some as applicable. Comparability is improved by using the same structure for reporting purposes throughout the nation. In the following definitions, "grade span" can be changed to "age span" when structuring a nongraded school or local educational agency.
