<p>There is an <ahref="https://jeremyfprice.github.io/SCOscore-dashboard/">Indiana SCO Score Dashboard</a> available, in which you can explore the data in more detail and depth.</p>
<p>Overall, most of Indiana’s school corporations’ opportunity score fall under 1 (<ahref="#fig-density-plot">Figure 2</a>). This indicates that the majority of Indiana school corporations have low levels of non-white students, low levels of students who qualify for free or reduced lunch, relatively high achievement, or some combination of the three. Many of the school corporations in Indiana fall between the 0.5 and 1 range. This doesn’t mean that there <em>isn’t</em> opportunity in these school corporations, particularly for those students who experience structure barriers and oppression; rather, as a matter of general priorities, the school corporations that score greater than 1 will see a higher level of potential in terms of growth.</p>

<p>Overall, most of Indiana’s school corporations’ opportunity score fall under 1 (<ahref="#fig-density-plot">Figure 2</a>), with the skewness for the distribution calculated at 1.222 and the kurtosis calculated at 4.088. With a skewness greater than 1, the data is highly concentrated to the left (relatively low opportunity scores) and sharply peaked (relatively highly concentrated opportunity scores) given a kurtosis greater than 3.</p>

<p>We can look at how the different factors interact for Indiana school corporations in <ahref="#fig-3dscatter">Figure 4</a>. The plots are divided by SCO Score ranges, and demonstrate how the percentage of students who under-represented minority communities, and school corporation academic scores interact to result in ranges of School Corporation Opportunity Scores.</p>

<p>School corporations in Indiana span the full spectrum of these categories. While there is a higher <em>number of school corporations</em> that are rural, a much larger <em>number of students</em> attend urban and suburban schools.</p>

<p>We can then look at the <em>relative opportunity</em> for the various urban-centered locale classification (<ahref="#fig-lolipop">Figure 6</a>). The line in the center of the plot is the <em>mean relative opportunity.</em> As a class, school corporations in cities have higher relative opportunity than in other locales. This does not mean that there are not high opportunity school corporations in other locale classifications (there are), but rather this provides a sense of high-level priority which can then be broken down further and examined locally and in context.</p>
