New features in the Educational Opportunity Explorer

Refine your view of the data with new filtering options

In our new Explorer interface, you can:

  • Filter estimates by: school, district, and county size; ranges within key metrics (average test scores, learning rates, and trend in test scores); and ranges for socioeconomic status and percent qualifying for free or reduced priced lunch (FRPL).
  • Select all schools in a particular district. For example, view estimates for all schools in New York City Public Schools.
  • Select schools by characteristic: area (rural, town, suburban, and urban schools); school type (public, charter, and magnet schools); school age group (middle, elementary, and combined).

View and compare locations in new ways

We’ve refined the location data panel to provide a clearer view of statistics at a glance (and have added U.S. states as new location types to explore). You can also compare several locations’ data together in a revised table display.
