school_dists: School districts by town

school_distsR Documentation

School districts by town

Description

A crosswalk of Connecticut towns and school districts, including regional districts. Some very small towns don't operate their own schools and are not included here, whereas other towns are both part of a regional district and operate some of their own schools, most commonly their own elementary.

Usage

Format

A data frame with 195 rows and 2 variables:

district

School district name

town

Name of town included in district

Details

Note that for aggregating by region, the Hartford-area regional district CREC is not included here, because it spans so many other towns that also run their own schools.CREC is of significant enough size that it should generally be included in Greater Hartford aggregations or as its own district for comparisons alongside e.g. Hartford and West Hartford.

Source

Distinct town-level district names come from the state's data.world. Regional districts and their towns come from combing through school district websites.
