fetch_old_nj_assess: a simplified interface into NJ assessment data

In almartin82/njschooldata: a simple interface for accessing NJ DOE school data in R

a simplified interface into NJ assessment data

Description

this is the workhorse function. given a end_year and a grade (valid years are 2004-present), fetch_old_nj_assess will call the appropriate function, process the raw text file, and return a data frame. fetch_old_nj_assess is a wrapper around all the individual subject functions (NJASK, HSPA, etc.), abstracting away the complexity of finding the right location/file layout.

Usage

fetch_old_nj_assess(end_year, grade, tidy = FALSE)

Arguments

end_year	a school year. end_year is the end of the academic year - eg 2013-14 school year is end_year '2014'. valid values are 2004-2014.
grade	a grade level. valid values are 3,4,5,6,7,8,11
tidy	if TRUE, takes the unwieldy, inconsistent wide data and normalizes into a long, tidy data frame with ~20 headers - constants(school/district name and code), subgroup (all the NCLB subgroups) and test_name (LAL, math, etc).
