Approval-rate ranking

Rates are descriptive; small schools can look extreme because of low application counts.

Application volume vs. approval rate

Each dot is a school. Farther right means more applications; higher means a greater approval rate.

Approved and denied applications by entering grade within the selected school level.

Data notes and math checks

What is being counted: each row in the workbook is treated as one decision. Approval/denial is attributed to School Interested in Attending, not the student's present school.

Level grouping: elementary, middle, and high schools are compared to their own peer group. Claremont Academy is split by entering grade because the source identifies it as grades 7–12. Obvious grade/building mismatches stay with the requested building's school category and are flagged rather than silently reclassified.

Normalization: long instructional parentheticals were removed from school labels, and the two Worcester Dual Language Magnet labels were merged into one school.
