I like the comparison between private and public schools. Do you think that you can find objective data? How is achievement measured?
Nice idea to do this kind of analysis for a city. I would try to narrow down on the research question, maybe focus on one particular school level (high school, elementary).
I would like to see this on a map. The only concern I would have is that this story type of story has been done before so I trying to find a unique angle might be difficult. I think focusing on the geolocation data though is a good idea, and I don't think I've seen that before, so I would focus on that.
I like the idea. If comparisons according to race have been covered before, maybe you could check about gender?
Hello! This is the Playfair Bot, let's take a peek.
Please post your project draft! It should be posted by Friday. More details available here. If you posted one but I'm not seeing it, make sure you followed the template.
It looks like we need to fix up your pitch a little bit! Edit it by clicking the pencil in the top right-hand corner. It requires:
If you see a lot of errors, make sure you used the templates correctly!
I got different kinds of schools including Elementary, K-8, Middle school distribution in NYC, you can see the difference between them obviously, Elementary school has the most number, while K-8 are the least.
I also have different races students' rankings in all kinds of schools.

number of Asian in all kinds of schools
I don't have enough data about the students' academic performance, maybe I should turn the focus on school.
I can't find story so far.
It's not clear yet what is the most interesting piece. K-8 schools are rarer in NYC, this is true. There may be more elementary schools but that is likely a function of the fact that they tend to have fewer students. The flipside is also true for high schools, there are many large high schools in NYC so fewer overall schools.
If you are interested in finding out where Asian students are, perhaps do some more work with the data upfront before you map it. Perhaps show us where the most and least Asian students are by school type.
I'd go back to your initial instinct to find another variable about the school. If you look at % of the population that has school lunches that is an indicator of poverty. Schools are also given grades, so you can use this as another filter for the data. How many Asian kids are in the schools that have the highest grade rating and the highest number of school lunches (poor kids), etc.
We definitely need another layer of data here.
Nice start! Keep going!
