Myname

i'm not entirely sure i''m getting this branching thing right. anyway, this is the long overdue dataset research HW
What a peculiar dataset! This seems to be a case in which it would be nice if we had more information about the origin of the dataset and what it is meant to represent. If it included all the public school students in NYC it would have about 1.1 million students. Looking at the metadata that I am able to find at the link you provided, @hueyqt, I see that this dataset was provided by the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), not the Department of Education; I wonder if the dataset is just about the students in some program of theirs. You might try to track down Albert Webber, the creator of the dataset. (This info is from the "About" section in the Socrata interface.)
