School Quality Reports: Performance Metrics for New York City Schools

School Quality Reports data contains performance metrics for New York City Department of Education schools. The dataset includes columns such as Metric Value, Comparison Group Average, and Metric Score, which allow for the assessment of individual school performance against peer groups. Educator guides for interpreting the reports are provided by the NYC DOE.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking a school's Metric Value against its Comparison Group Average.
• Analyzing performance trends over time using Report Year and School Year.
• Comparing Metric Scores across different School Types or Districts.
• Identifying schools for targeted support based on Number of Students and performance metrics.

Strengths

• Provides a structured comparison framework via the Comparison Group Average column.
• Cross-platform presence on Socrata and Data.gov suggests official importance and accessibility.
• Includes specific identifiers like DBN (Borough and School Number) for precise school matching.

Limitations

• Key metadata like row count, size, and license are consistently missing or listed as 'None' across all sources.
• Sources conflict on the last updated date, with one showing 2026-04-12 and another 2026-02-10.
• The Data.gov source lacks column information, reducing discoverability of the dataset's full structure on that platform.
