New school maps UPDATED

*UPDATED: Includes Unit 4 demographics-at-glance report, broken out by grade level, for easy comparison of apples-to-apples when comparing schools accross the district.*

Knocked out 6 more maps, hopefully these might be a little more useful:

There's two categories - low income percentage of students per school vs CU property values (1 ea for primary, middle and high schools); and minority percentage of students per school vs CU census block minority percentage (1 ea for primary, middle, and high schools).

This only covers evaluated public schools in the 2004/5 school year in districts 4 and 116.

The pie charts spatially represent the location of the school, and relative student body size of the school is depicted by pie chart size.

Whether or not the school made AYP in 2004/5 is noted by either a red or blue school name on the point.

Bottenfield apparantly had 0 low income students - I think there was some missing data.

All non-spatial school data is from http://iirc.niu.edu.

For all spatial data source info, see my previous blog post.

I am surprised a bit - South Side appears to be less poor/minority than Barkstall is.  I also didn't realize Carrie Busey was less than 1/2 white.

Neat maps.

Added a school-by-school report of the data that was plugged in (Unit 4 only) to create all of the maps, broken out by grade level.

As before, all non-spatial data is from http://iirc.niu.edu
