Fetch Washington enrollment data

Source: R/fetch_enrollment.R
fetch_enr.Rd

Downloads and processes enrollment data from the Washington State Report Card via the data.wa.gov open data portal.

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'. Valid values are 2010-2026 (Socrata API).

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 OSPI.

Value

Data frame with enrollment data. Wide format includes columns for district_id, campus_id, names, and enrollment counts by demographic/grade. Tidy format pivots these counts into subgroup and grade_level columns.

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)

# Filter to specific district
seattle <- enr_2024 |>
  dplyr::filter(district_name == "Seattle School District No. 1")
} # }
