Texas school accountability data

This repo includes:

• Texas school accountability rating data for 2013-2017.
• A Jupyter notebook with scripts to transform and analyze this data.
• A web page based on our single-page project template to present the data.

Clone this repo to run/edit the notebook or to hack on the interactive.

Run the notebook

Notebooks in processings/ use base python3 conda packages, but can also be run with virtual environments.

$ cd tx-school-data/processing
$ mkvirtualenv school-data
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ jupyter notebook

Hack on the interactive

$ cd tx-school-data
$ npm install
$ grunt

Run grunt watch to relint/transpile/uglify your css and js files on change.

Deployment

This uses s3-parallel-put to upload json files and node-s3-client in a grunt task to publish the other HTML assets.

• store AWS credentials as the environmental variables AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• grunt stage or grunt prod publish the public/ directory WITHOUT data
• bash tasks/push_data.sh stage or bash tasks/push_data.sh prod upload the json files
• This is reconfigured to embed in Methode. There is a file src/methode_embed.html which has example code for the Methode flatpage.
