You have been asked to analyze the district-wide standardized test results. You'll be given access to every student's math and reading scores, as well as various information on the schools they attend. Your responsibility is to aggregate the data to and showcase obvious trends in school performance, to inform strategic decisions regarding future school budgets and priorities.
The final report should include each of the following:
- Create a high level snapshot (in table form) of the district's key metrics, including:
- Total Schools
- Total Students
- Total Budget
- Average Math Score
- Average Reading Score
- % Passing Math
- % Passing Reading
- Overall Passing Rate (Average of the above two)
- Create an overview table that summarizes key metrics about each school, including:
- School Name
- School Type
- Total Students
- Total School Budget
- Per Student Budget
- Average Math Score
- Average Reading Score
- % Passing Math
- % Passing Reading
- Overall Passing Rate (Average of the above two)
- Create a table that highlights the top 5 performing schools based on Overall Passing Rate. Include:
- School Name
- School Type
- Total Students
- Total School Budget
- Per Student Budget
- Average Math Score
- Average Reading Score
- % Passing Math
- % Passing Reading
- Overall Passing Rate (Average of the above two)
- Create a table that highlights the bottom 5 performing schools based on Overall Passing Rate. Include all of the same metrics as above.
- Create a table that lists the average Math Score for students of each grade level (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th) at each school.
- Create a table that lists the average Reading Score for students of each grade level (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th) at each school.
- Create a table that breaks down school performances based on average Spending Ranges (Per Student). Use 4 reasonable bins to group school spending. Include in the table each of the following:
- Average Math Score
- Average Reading Score
- % Passing Math
- % Passing Reading
- Overall Passing Rate (Average of the above two)
- Repeat the above breakdown, but this time group schools based on a reasonable approximation of school size (Small, Medium, Large).
- Repeat the above breakdown, but this time group schools based on school type (Charter vs. District).
