Canonicalize school names #3

Open smayya337 opened 3 years ago

smayya337 commented 3 years ago

We have a bit of a canonicalization mess at the moment. Three Baltimore Polytechnics? Camas High vs. Camas High School? We should make an effort to clean up the names of schools in the near future.

Hi Shreyas, my name is Varun Punnam, and I am a student at the Academy for Health and Medical Sciences in Bridgewater, New Jersey. On this topic, my school's results are grouped under a non-existent "Middlesex County Academy for Health and Medical Science (NJ)," which is an especially weird issue since my school is in Somerset County. The confusion seems to arise from the real Middlesex County Academy for Science, Mathematics & Engineering Technologies being a nearby competitor. Ironically, that school is also facing reporting issues since their results are split between two nearly identical school names, with the only difference being the word "and" instead of an ampersand between "Mathematics" and "Engineering." github photo

@BluePenguin18 uh-oh... I would blame it on not having a team member from New Jersey, except we do - sorry about the error, I'll fix that ASAP, thanks for letting me know! (And yeah, the ampersand thing is always fun... we try to stick to "and" where possible, but not everyone is aware of that choice.)

EDIT: hopefully I got all of them
