[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi - I’ve been looking through all of the MySchoolDC data and haven’t been able to find two data points. Hoping someone can point me to them if they exist:

1. Waitlist offers by preference group. I see data published for total waitlist offers, and for matches by preference group on match day, but I don’t see any data breaking down waitlist offers by preference group (in-boundary, proximity, no pref, etc.)

2. Race by grade. There is data published showing the racial makeup at a given school, but I haven’t seen the racial makeup broken down by grade. My instinct is that within individual schools, there may be significant differences in racial makeup between, for example, Prek3 and 5th grade.

1) I'm not aware of this being published anywhere.

2) You can look at the OSSE test score spreadsheets and may gain some insight, at least into the testing grades (3rd and up) taken as a whole. But I urge caution here-- there's a category for More Than One Race without any specifics, and the data is redacted if the numbers are small. So you can do this if you enjoy it, but it's not necessarily going to be that helpful to you, and can actually steer you astray. There tends to be a lot of variation from year to year, too, without necessarily any reason for it. [/quote]
