Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between `Num of SAT Test Takers` and average `SAT Math Avg. Score` across different schools.
• Rank `SCHOOL NAME` based on composite performance using `SAT Critical Reading Avg. Score`, `SAT Writing Avg. Score`, and `SAT Math Avg. Score`.
• Identify schools with high `SAT Writing Avg. Score` relative to their `Num of SAT Test Takers` for case studies.
• Map school performance by `DBN` (District Borough Number) to visualize geographic patterns in SAT outcomes.

Strengths

• Includes a count of test takers (`Num of SAT Test Takers`) for context on sample size.

Limitations
