Does this data cover US Service Academies, US Coast Guard Academy, and US Merchant Marine Academy?
This question was recently posted to open data stack overflow, where you all point your users for support.
Searches for "USMA", "Army", and "West Point" return no results; Searching through all of the schools in Maryland does not return a result for USNA.

You may also want to add military school as a type of specialized mission in the advanced search options, unless that breaks the gender/racial specialization theme.

Thanks for your feedback. Some of these institutions do not participate in Title-IV, so we do not have the student records needed to be able to match with other datasets (NSLDS and Treasury data) to make them available on the College Scorecard website.

I did a little digging with your examples and found one at least!

Depending on your use case, there is some IPEDS data available for these institutions over at https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/Home/UseTheData [then Lookup an Institution].
