school_districts | R Documentation |
From the US Census Bureau (see link for source): School Districts are single-purpose administrative units within which local officials provide public educational services for the area's residents. The Census Bureau obtains school district boundaries, names, local education agency codes, grade ranges, and school district levels biennially from state education officials. The Census Bureau collects this information for the primary purpose of providing the U.S. Department of Education with annual estimates of the number of children in poverty within each school district, county, and state. This information serves as the basis for the Department of Education to determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to states and school districts.

arguments to be passed to internal function |
The Census Bureau creates pseudo-unified school districts for areas in which unified school districts do not exist. Additionally, elementary and secondary school districts do not exist in all states. Please see the link for more information on how the Census Bureau creates the school district shapefiles.
Additional arguments that can be passed in ...
are:
class
Desired class of return object: "sf"
(the default) or "sp"
. sp classes should be considered deprecated as of tigris version 2.0, but legacy support is still available.
progress_bar
If set to FALSE
, do not display download progress bar (helpful for R Markdown documents). Defaults to TRUE
.
keep_zipped_shapefile
If set to TRUE
, do not delete zipped shapefile (stored in temporary directory or TIGRIS_CACHE_DIR
depending on the configuration of global option "tigris_use_cache"
). Defaults to FALSE
.
refresh
Whether to re-download cached shapefiles (TRUE
or FALSE
) . The default is either FALSE
or the value of global
option "tigris_refresh"
if it is set. Specifying this argument will override the behavior set in "tigris_refresh"
global option.
filter_by
Geometry used to filter the output returned by the function. Can be an sf object, an object of class bbox
, or a length-4 vector of format c(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)
that can be converted to a bbox. Geometries that intersect the input to filter_by
will be returned.
