California Schools Performance Demographic Analysis
October 2014. Analyzing school performance and school neighborhood characteristics ... this section is focused on accessing and using performance and demographic data resources to examine trends, patterns and relationships among these data to facilitate improved educational outcomes. We integrate California Department of Education data with data from Census 2010 and American Community Survey (ACS) to develop a more comprehensive look at school performance in context of neighborhood demographics. Use the interactive table in this section to view, rank, compare schools. Apply queries to view school subsets of interest (e.g., within a school district or ZIP code). Use the GIS resources described in this section to flexibly integrate multi-sourced demographic economic data to facilitate pattern analysis.
