PreK Riders by Transportation Site: Student Counts by School

New York City data summarizes documented pre-kindergarten students by their assigned transportation site and school. Columns suggest a record for each school-transportation site pair, including an OPT code, site name, school name, and school year. The dataset is available on multiple government data platforms, indicating its public importance.

Use Cases

• Allocating transportation resources using OPT_Code and Number_of_Riders
• Mapping student distribution across sites using Site_Name and School_Name
• Analyzing annual trends in pre-K enrollment using School_Year and Number_of_Riders
• Verifying school-site associations for administrative purposes using School_Name and Site_Name (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Cross-platform presence on Socrata and Data.gov signals official public data importance
• Provides specific identifiers (OPT_Code) for linking to other education datasets
• Includes temporal dimension with School_Year column for time-series analysis

Limitations

• Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download
• Conflicting 'last updated' dates (2026-05-01 vs 2026-04-05) across platforms create uncertainty about freshness
• Key metadata like row count, license, and author are listed as unknown or null
