You will need to run createdb schools to initialize the postgres database.
Running make database will import the data into
normalized tables in a postgresql database.
Right now, the database scripts only fully process the school-level data that appears in all 22 years of data. These include:
- ACT Scores
- Demography and enrollment
- Time spent on subject
- Class sizes, by grade
- School level characteristics like parent involvement, truancy, and graduation rate.
If you just wish to download the data without importing it into a database, run make csv. It will:
- Download ISBE report card data from 1997-2015
- Convert the fixed width files to csv format, with year-over-year normalized column names
