Description:
Abstract:
This data set displays CT public school districts from 2008 displaying Middle schools. Data includes district codes, town names, and town numbers. The data was created using 2008 education information. There are two fields for District Codes (Numeric and Text), the numeric can be used for joining/ relating data the text field gives the full (3 digit) code. The data set contains 150 district/regional zones with inherent codes.
Purpose:
The data was created to allow users to browse the state middle school districts by age group, town, or district code.
Supplemental_Information:
Connecticut schools vary greatly between which age groups they serve so the schools are based off the youngest age group they taught. Middle Schools serve grades 5-8 with some variation. Some schools serve grades four(4) - seven(7) or six(6) - eight(8), the average middle school teaches grades five(5) through eight(8) though.
