🚀 Getting Started

Loading the Dataset

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the complete dataset
dataset = load_dataset("robworks-software/texas-school-districts-administration-data")

# Filter by record type
districts = dataset.filter(lambda x: x["_record_type"] == "district")
schools = dataset.filter(lambda x: x["_record_type"] == "school")
teachers = dataset.filter(lambda x: x["_record_type"] == "teacher")

Example Analysis

import pandas as pd

# Convert to pandas for analysis
df = pd.DataFrame(dataset["train"])

# Analyze district budgets
district_data = df[df["_record_type"] == "district"]
budget_analysis = district_data.groupby("district_name")["budget_total"].sum()

# School performance analysis
school_data = df[df["_record_type"] == "school"]
performance_by_district = school_data.groupby("district_name")["graduation_rate"].mean()
