Analyzing NYC Public school test result scores
Hello,
I'm passionate about transforming raw data into actionable insights, driven by a lifelong fascination with numbers. As a data analyst, I enjoy uncovering meaningful patterns and collaborating with like-minded individuals.
I'm also a strong advocate for mental health and use data to contribute to this important cause. My background in the medical field enhances my analytical approach, bridging the gap between healthcare and data analysis.
Here, we'll take a look at SAT across public schools in New York City.
Data had one table and 6 columns as seen in the Schema. The data type is also specified.
Inspecting the data
We used the SELECT to find all the records FROM the schools_modified data. Then limited it to the first 10 to just give a preview of the data
The first row had an empty column let's find out the missing values
We found that there were 20 missing values in the perecent_tested category.
What is the minimum average reading score? Without an Alias, the column name(result) gets a default value
We find which school was best performing in maths. By using ORDER BY We can arrange our query by adding DESC makes it from highest to lowest.
We can find the average score by grouping the information by school name. Remember any statement in the SELECT statement and not in the aggregate should be included in the GROUP BY clause. The function would still work even without an ORDER BY but would give results not as exactly as we would have anticipated. Check the difference between the two tables below
We can use the WHERE clause to find values within a specified category.
Here, LIKE is used in the WHERE clause this will return all values like Brooklyn. Incasevalues could be having cases that have not been standardized then ILIKE would work.
We have used the above project to revise the basic statements used in SQL.
If you'd wish to get the data for your practice too I'll upload it on GitHub.
