Fake student data from the Wisconsin State Dept. of Ed
Description
A generated data set containing data on 1200 imaginary individual K-12 students in Wisconsin. They are nested within 6 schools in 3 districts. In adapting this from the source, Sam switched the school and district variables (there had been multiple districts per school) and made other minor changes, including dropping columns that I didn't understand or that didn't seem relevant (e.g., variables like "luck" that were used to calculate the reading and math scores).
