Abstract	The school type currently attended by students is an important piece of information for educational research. Because the German educational system is highly complicated, and students-especially in Grade 5 (SC3)-are too young to give exhaustive information about their school history, this information is collected by interviews with parents. This leads to two problems: (1) As episodic data about school history are collected, there is no variable providing cross-sectional information about the attended school type. (2) Because not all parents take part in our interviews, we have to deal with a large amount of unit nonresponse. In this report we describe one possible strategy for solving these problems. This strategy consists of multiple steps in which (1) the current school episode of students with parent information is identified, (2) the true school type information is assigned at class level based on data from the parent interview, and (3) the class-specific school type information thus obtained is used to replace missing data of those students whose parents did not participate in the parent interview.
