Understanding the Data
I'm starting by analyzing a PDF document containing West Virginia state education records. My initial focus is on understanding the document's structure, identifying key columns like 'District Name', 'School Name', 'Subgroup', and performance metrics. This will help me effectively extract the necessary information for a comprehensive analysis.
Pocahontas County Focus
My first step in the analysis is to extract all records specifically for 'POCAHON' (Pocahontas) district. Once extracted, I'll summarize the performance of each school within Pocahontas County across the available years (2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023), and then compare the performance of different student subgroups, such as 'Economically Disadvantaged' and 'Children With Disabilities', against the overall 'Totals' for the district.
Statewide Comparisons and Trends
I'll also be extracting state-level aggregate data to compare Pocahontas County's performance against statewide averages. Furthermore, I plan to identify the highest and lowest-performing school districts and individual schools across West Virginia for the most recent year. I'll also analyze statewide performance gaps between key subgroups and compare the performance of 'Title I' and non-'Title I' schools to identify any trends. Finally, I'll examine longitudinal trends in statewide performance from 2019 to 2023, considering potential contributing factors through additional research.
Next Steps
My immediate next step is to use the browsing tool to examine the structure of the provided PDF document and begin extracting the data for Pocahontas County.
