This pie chart is demonstrating percentage of African American, White, Hispanic, Asian American and Nartive American students in the district. We can see that the district is quite diverse: there are 37.36% of African American students, 36.04% of White students, 17.32% of Hispanic students, 5.82% of Asian American studens, 3.47% of Native American students.
This Bar Chart is depicting a total number of students in the district by race/ethnicity. We can see that 12,847 students are African American, 12,391 are White, 5,954 students are Hispanic, 2,000 are Asian American and 1,194 are Native American. The most students are African American and White.
This Pie chart is showing the proportion of High Poverty and Non-High Poverty schools in the district. As we can see, there are more Non-High Poverty schools in the district (56,16%)
To show how races are divided between schools that are High Poverty and that are Non-High Poverty, we have created these pie charts. Here we can see that in high poverty shools more than half of the population is African American (57.04%), while in Non-High Poverty schools almost 50% is White (47.19%). This information was obtained based on the free meals proxy.
This radar chart is another way of demonstrating how many students of African American, White, Hispanic, Asian American and Native American race attend High Poverty and Non-High Poverty schools in the district. We can see that both High Poverty and Non-High Poverty schools have, in average, a similar population of all races/ethnicities but White. Non-High Poverty schools are larger, mainly because of a disproportinate number of White students.
This histogram is showing relationship of Percentage of White Students in High Poverty and Non-High Poverty schools. We can see that most of High Poverty schools have less than 10% of White students, while very few Non-High Poverty schools have less than 20% of White students. No High Poverty school has more than 25% of White students, but a good proportion of Non-High Poverty schools have a decent number of White students (over 40%).
This histogram is showing relationship of Percentage of African American Students in High Poverty and Non-High Poverty schools. We can see that most of Non-High Poverty schools have less than 60% of African American students, in average about 30%, while most Non-High Poverty schools have about 80% of African American students. We can come to the conclusion that most White students are in Non-High Poverty schools and most African American students are in Non-High Poverty schools.
This scatterplot is demonstrating a linear relationship between Free Meals and White Students. We can see that there are hardly any White Students who get over 80% of free meals, while there are more than 85% of White students who don't get any free meals (meaning their poverty level is not high).
In this table we can see that correlation between the values above is almost perfect, it is almost 1, which means it is a very strong correlation between the percentage of White students getting less free meals. It is a negative correlation because the regression line is showing that there is low percentage of White students in High Poverty schools. We can draw a conclusion that most White students in the district are not in the lower poverty level and attend Non-High Poverty schools. Based on the visualizations above, the district is very diverse, but there are more African American students in High Poverty schools.
A hypothesis for why it is happening and why there are more African American students in High Poverty schools and more White students in Non-High Poverty schools is because it is also dependant on other variables such as family status (single parent or 2 parents), education level of parents (highest degree obtained), number of children in the family, household income, cost of living. Unfortunately, another reason could be because African American population was historically disadvantaged compared to other groups of population.
