Madison Area Elementary School Performance Map


This data is directly from the previous post but displayed in a potentially more informative way.

What you are seeing below is a map of Madison-area elementary school boundaries colored by rank order where bright green = best and bright red = worst.

Rank order is a little misleading in some ways. It somewhat artificially creates visual differences based on sometimes small statistical differences. On the other hand it's pretty interesting and informative especially where dramatic color differences border each other.

There are several schools not displayed on here you may notice. Two in Middleton and Waunakee have no data that differentiates economically vs. non-economically disadvantaged students.

If you have boundary maps for Monona Grove or McFarland, post or email a link because I couldn't find any maps for them to code.
