Downloads and processes enrollment data from the Vermont Agency of Education via the Vermont Education Dashboard (VED).
Arguments
- end_year
A school year end. Year is the end of the academic year - eg 2023-24 school year is year '2024'. Valid values are 2004-2025 (2003-04 through 2024-25 school years). Data is collected on October 1 of each school year.
- tidy
If TRUE (default), returns data in long (tidy) format with subgroup column. If FALSE, returns wide format.
- use_cache
If TRUE (default), uses locally cached data when available. Set to FALSE to force re-download from Vermont AOE.
Value
Data frame with enrollment data. Wide format includes columns for district_id, campus_id, names, and enrollment counts by grade. Tidy format pivots these counts into subgroup and grade_level columns.
Note
The 2017-18 (end_year = 2018) data appears to have quality issues in the source file, with significantly lower enrollment than expected.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Get 2024 enrollment data (2023-24 school year)
enr_2024 <- fetch_enr(2024)
# Get wide format
enr_wide <- fetch_enr(2024, tidy = FALSE)
# Force fresh download (ignore cache)
enr_fresh <- fetch_enr(2024, use_cache = FALSE)
# Get state-level totals
state_total <- enr_2024 |>
dplyr::filter(is_state, subgroup == "total_enrollment", grade_level == "TOTAL")
} # }
