Study Case 04:
NYC Schools SAT's Analysis

This was one of the first Python-based projects that I developed with the intention of developing my knowledge on this programming language.

Its purpose is to take the academic grades of different secondary education academic institutions located in New York and determine which ones are the best, according to their performance in certain areas of study.

• Software used: Python, Jupyter Notebooks.

• Libraries used: Pandas (to load the information into different dataframes), matplotlib (to create a graphic to visualize the results) and NumPy (to work with different arrays of data in an ordered form).

• Conclusion: Using the dataset as a reference:

  • Eleanor Roosevelt High School is the school with the best performance in mathematics.

  • Stuyvesant High School, Bronx High School of Science and Staten Island Technical High School are the institutions with the best performance, according to their SAT scores.

  • Manhattan is the borough with the highest standard deviation in its combined SAT score.
