This repo contains admissions data and any subsequent analysis from the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy as retrieved by a FOIA request.
This includes the important correspondence I had with IMSA's FOIA Officer, including the initial FOIA request. It is all dated.
These are the original Excel files given to me by IMSA's FOIA Officer. I include them here only for posterity. I will not merge any pull requests to this folder.
This folder includes the three separate datasets that IMSA sent me, all in CSV format. All commits should be made here. The names of the datasets explain what they contain. Generally, stuff that IMSA provided me (converted to CSV from XLSX) is called "raw-data" while data with alterations is called "cleaned-data".
A lot of people have contributed to this project - they deserve to and have been recognized here.
Any data analysis code should be put here. Name your folder with a 2-3 word summary of the purpose and then the language. For example, if you wrote Java code to find Waldo, name your folder "find-waldo-java". In addition, add a README.MD to the folder explaining the basic structure of your code.
Since this data was retreived via a Freedom of Information Act Request, it seems only right to open source the data to eliminate the need for another FOIA. To be clear, you may alter, analyze and reproduce this data at your leisure. Additionally, all software in this project (as of this writing, none) is licensed under the MIT License.
