Source: R/fetch_enrollment.R
fetch_enr.Rd

Downloads and processes enrollment data from the Nevada Department of Education. Data is available from the NDE website.

Usage

fetch_enr(end_year, tidy = TRUE, use_cache = TRUE)

Arguments

end_year

A school year. Year is the end of the academic year - eg 2023-24 school year is year '2024'. Use list_enr_years() to see available years.

tidy

If TRUE (default), returns data in long (tidy) format with subgroup column. If FALSE, returns wide format with one row per entity/grade.

use_cache

If TRUE (default), uses locally cached data when available. Set to FALSE to force re-download from NDE.

Value

Data frame with enrollment data. Tidy format includes columns:

  • end_year: School year end (e.g., 2025 for 2024-25)

  • lea_code: Local Education Agency code

  • lea_name: LEA name

  • district_code: Master District code

  • district_name: District name

  • school_code: School code (NA for district-level)

  • school_name: School name (NA for district-level)

  • entity_type: "District" or "School"

  • grade_level: Grade level or "TOTAL"

  • subgroup: Demographic or population subgroup

  • n_students: Student count

  • pct: Percentage of total enrollment

Details

Nevada provides enrollment data from 2015-16 through the current year. Data formats vary by year:

  • 2016-2017: Legacy format (limited data extraction)

  • 2018-2020: Intermediate format (consolidated data)

  • 2021-2026: Modern format (full school/district data with demographics)

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Get 2026 enrollment data (2025-26 school year)
enr_2026 <- fetch_enr(2026)

# Get wide format (one row per entity/grade)
enr_wide <- fetch_enr(2026, tidy = FALSE)

# Force fresh download (ignore cache)
enr_fresh <- fetch_enr(2026, use_cache = FALSE)

# Get multiple years
enr_multi <- purrr::map_df(c(2021:2024, 2026), fetch_enr)
} # }
