edbuildmapr: A package to download school district geospatial data, perform spatial analysis, and create formatted exportable maps.

Description

Import US Census Bureau, Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates Program, Composite School District Boundaries Files for 2013-2019 with the option to attach EdBuild's master dataset of school district finance, student demographics, and community economic indicators for every school district in the United States. The master dataset is built from the US Census, Annual Survey of School System Finances (F33) and joins data from the National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data; the US Census, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates; and the US Census, Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates. Additional functions in the package create a dataset of all pairs of school district neighbors as either a dataframe or a shapefile and create formatted maps of selected districts at the state or neighbor level, symbolized by a selected variable in EdBuild's master dataset. For full details about 'EdBuild' data processing please see: EdBuild (2020) Methodology.
