This was an interview take-home project. The prompt was “Make a dashboard for a school district leader, comparing standardized test scores (3rd grade reading level meets grade level) to household income and poverty at the zip code level. Don’t do statistical analysis.” Links were provided to school-level test scores, school locations, and zip-level Census ACS data.
