A-F School Grading Variable Dictionary 2017

Tables use SCHNUMB (school number) for linking. This number is a concatenation of the three digit district code (e.g., 001 for APS) and the three digit school code (e.g., 570 for West Mesa HS). In combination, these two codes create a six-digit unique identifier for each school.

There were 847 schools rated in 2017, and each is designated by either the EL or HS model for assignment of points.

Conventions:

R and M begin variable name
Subgroup codesend variable name
