This bubble chart compares Advanced Placement test participation rates and success rates across Massachusetts high schools, with each bubble’s position showing the percentage of students taking at least one AP test versus those scoring 3–5. Bubble color and size encode the school’s 9–12 population. Built with Vega-Lite and d3.v5, it loads CSV data from the DESE repository via `d3.csv` (through the `vl` API) and renders using the default SVG viewer with custom axis styling from `config.js`.

AP Test Scores of MA Districts by Year

This stacked bar chart shows AP test participation and score distributions for Massachusetts school districts by year, with each bar representing the total number of tests at each score level. The visualization reveals that overall AP participation has increased over time, while the highest score (5) remains stable and score 2 has grown substantially. The chart uses Vega-Lite via the vega-lite-api wrapper with D3 for CSV loading, and data comes from the Massachusetts DESE AP performance dataset. Each stack segment is colored by score level, with tooltips displaying district names.

Horrible Experiment gone bad. AP Participation compared to non-successful AP test attempts by district

This scatterplot compares Massachusetts school districts by the percentage of students taking at least one AP test against the percentage scoring 1-2, with the bar color and size encoding district population. It uses Vega-Lite’s API to render SVG marks, with d3.csv loading MA DESE AP participation data. The visualization is explicitly described by its author as a “horrible experiment gone bad” and a dead end, reflecting its unclear analytical value.

Largest Participating MA Districts in AP Test (tests taken per district) by year

This stacked bar chart shows the Massachusetts school districts with the highest Advanced Placement test participation, measured by total tests taken per district, across multiple years. Each bar segment represents a distinct district for a given year, with color encoding the test count and tooltips revealing the school name. The visualization is built using Vega-Lite and D3, loading CSV data from a DESE repository via d3.csv, and renders through the vega-lite-api with custom axis and label styling from a config file.

Largest Participating MA Districts in AP Test (tests taken per district) by year

This stacked bar chart shows the number of AP tests taken by the largest participating Massachusetts school districts each year, with each stack segment representing a unique district. The visualization uses the Vega-Lite API to encode the year on the x-axis, test count on the y-axis, and district as the color, with tooltips revealing school names. Data is loaded from a CSV file hosted in a GitHub gist, sourced from the MA DESE AP participation dataset, and rendered using the vega-lite and vega libraries with custom configuration for axis styling.

Massachusetts Advanced Placement Performance by town

This visualization shows Massachusetts Advanced Placement performance by town, with each town’s score representing the number of students achieving a score of 3-5 on AP exams. A proportional symbol map uses circles sized with `d3.scaleSqrt` overlaid on a geographic outline rendered via `d3.geoPath` and `geoAlbers` projection. The map is built with React, pulling TopoJSON and CSV data through custom hooks, with static SVG rendering and semi-transparent green circles to emphasize performance density.

Massachusetts Rention Rates by year and quartile 10/31/2019 final

This visualization maps Massachusetts school district student retention rates, overlaying circles scaled by quartile value onto a geographic outline of the state. Interactive dropdown menus filter the displayed data by retention quartile and academic year, revealing potential geographic patterns over time. The map renders with `d3.geoAlbers` and `d3.geoPath`, while point radii use `d3.scaleSqrt`. Data from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is loaded via `d3.json` and `d3.csv`, and the interface is built with React and `react-dropdown`.

Massachusetts Retention compared to Chronically Absent Rates with Menus

This interactive scatter plot shows Massachusetts school district retention rates in relation to chronic absenteeism, with three dropdown menus letting viewers compare different metrics on the x-axis, y-axis, and point size. The visualization uses d3.scaleLinear to map data values to pixel coordinates, with circles rendered as SVG marks whose radius corresponds to a selected attribute. Data is loaded from a CSV via d3.csv, and the React interface updates the axes and circle sizes dynamically when menu selections change, while tooltips display formatted values for each district.
