Identify Focus Schools

Source: R/fetch_spr.R
identify_focus_schools.Rd

Identifies schools that need support based on ESSA accountability status. Filters for schools identified as Comprehensive Support, Targeted Support, or other improvement categories, and categorizes by support level.

Usage

identify_focus_schools(df, end_year = NULL)

Arguments

df

A data frame from fetch_essa_status containing ESSA accountability status information

end_year

Optional school year to filter results (e.g., 2024)

Value

Data frame with focus schools including:

  • All original columns from input data

  • focus_level - Categorized support level:

    • "Comprehensive Support and Improvement" - Lowest performing 5

    • "Targeted Support and Improvement" - Underperforming subgroups

    • "Other Support" - Other identification categories

Schools are sorted by focus level (Comprehensive first) and then alphabetically by district and school name. Schools without support identification are excluded.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Get ESSA status data
essa <- fetch_essa_status(2024)

# Identify focus schools
focus <- identify_focus_schools(essa)

# View comprehensive support schools
focus %>%
  dplyr::filter(focus_level == "Comprehensive Support and Improvement") %>%
  dplyr::select(district_name, school_name, category_of_identification)

# Focus on specific year
focus_2023 <- identify_focus_schools(essa, end_year = 2023)
} # }
