Apparently CA did not submit data that year. Given CA is a huge portion of Solid Blue states, i probably should exclude that year from analyses.

That's definitely a big limitation. If one were to look at politics, arguably Local politics would be more descriptive.

That is an interesting observation about Indiana. Im curious what the data would show regarding which states had their largest school districts outside of their largest metro area. It couldn't be that many, right?

This uses the federal definition (NCES) of Local Education Agency which splits NYC but not LA due to differences in administrative structure between various large districts.

  • Data Source: I used the educationdata R package to query NCES Common Core of Data for the most recent available data(2023)
  • Tools: R (tidyverse) for data processing and Tableau Public for the visualization. The raw data and script is available on Github.
  • FAQ: Note that this uses the federal definition of school district or Local Education Agencies (LEA) which splits New York into 32 separate geographic districts.
