COUNTY PROFILE ASSIGNMENT 3: SCHOOLS (due April 6)For this assignment you are going to compare two high schools. One school needs to be in your county. The other school can be in your county or in a different county within your same state (so that you can compare data easily). The schools must have CONTRASTING school student bodies in terms of socio-economic status (SES).You have the option of partnering with someone in the class. You need to partner with someone who has a school in his/her county that contrasts with a school in your county and whose county is in the same state. If you partner with someone, you will have less work to do (because your partner will be finding half of the data). However, you will be relying on your partner to complete the work according to a timeline on which you agree. I suggest you need all data collected and in the tables by April 2nd. You will write the discussion section separately and each submit your own assignment for grading. If you work with a partner, please indicate the name of the person in the introduction to your CPA.SES is often measured by the % of free and reduced school meals provided. You might try to find a school with a higher than average % of free and reduced school meals and one with a lower than average rate (WI average is 19%, MN is 21%, IL is 22%.) In WI, the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) site indicates “% economically disadvantaged” in each school, so you can use this data to determine SES. You need to have a ‘significant’ difference between the 2 schools – try for at least 20% difference.IF you have 2 different counties you need to include Table A: compare your two counties – “Individuals below poverty level” and “Median Income”. Use Community Facts here: https://factfinder.census.gov/NEXT, create 5 tables for your 2 schools using the most recent data available:Table 1: graduation rates [e.g. High School Completion Rates 4-year]Table 2: poverty rate of student body in the school, district OR county [Percent of Students Who Are Economically Disadvantaged, % Free or reduced School Meals, or other similar measure]Tables 3 and 4: state test scores in at least TWO subject areas (indicate which grade levels were included; explain what the test scores refer to and include different levels– e.g. Required reading skills: ‘Does Not Meet, Partially Meets, Meets, Exceeds’). WI state test scores refer to ALL students grades 9-12.Table 5: Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate courses the schools offer (MN and IL schools have this information on the ‘Report Card’ sites listed below; WI schools – you’ll need to search, possibly on the high school websites). You might try this site to find AP courses: https://apcourseaudit.epiconline.org/ledger/Discussion (300 – 400 words)Provide a description and interpretation of the data shown on your tables. How do the schools (or years) compare? Are there any notable differences between the schools? What might explain those differences? What do these differences indicate in terms of the experiences of the students? Remember to make connections with the course readings and concepts. Hint: use Margolis.General Assignment Tips (see specific tips for navigating sites below)• Look up your county in Google to figure out which school districts are included in your county (it is much easier to search the Department of Education websites with school district information than by county).• When in doubt, look at the particular high school’s website to try to find information. For example, AP course information might be located on the school’s website.• Use other websites to verify information you find via Google:https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolmap/http://www.publicschoolreview.com/Tips on navigating the Department (or State Board) of Education WebsitesMN: http://rc.education.state.mn.us click on the side menu (icon on the upper left) to get to the different reports. All the data you need are here. Start with ‘My School’. Type the name of your school into the search bar (click on the magnifying glass). Free/reduced school lunch % is under Demographics -> Enrollment by special population. ‘Test Results’ first gives you Math proficiency in Grade 11. Click on the triangle in the search bar (next to the magnifying glass) to change subjects; then click Done. Tables for MN school Test Scores will have 3 subject areas but only one score in each subject area (Percent Proficient).
