Data Set Values

"*" indicates required fields

Enter the lowest ISP percentage that you want to create groups of schools for
Please enter a number from 25 to 62.5.
Enter the high end ISP percentage that you want to create groups of schools for. If you leave this blank- it will group schools to find an average ISP Rate which is greater then or equal to just the Beginning of Range rate.
Please enter a number from 25 to 62.5.
Specify the increment value between beginning of range and end of range. Default is 1.
Include All Schools in the District?
In order to meet the requested ISP, the process will sometimes eliminate the schools with the lowest ISP rate. Check this if you want the algorithm to find the best grouping of schools that includes ALL schools in the District.
Note: If you elect All Schools and there is no combination of schools that the meets the beginning of range ISP no records will be returned.

Helpful Tips

You can create data sets to match a certain average ISP across all schools within a Set.

  • Beginning of Range: the low or beginning value to start calculating with.
  • End of Range:  the high or end value if you want to generate sets that cover a range of values.
  • Note: If you do not enter a End of Range value - the tool will create data sets that match the low value or Beginning of Range value.
  • Step Value: this is how much the tool increments between the Beginning and End of Range values.  The default is set to 1.

Here are a few examples:

  • If the Beginning of Range is set to 50% and the End of Range is set to 60% and the Step Value is set to 5 - then the tool will calculate data sets that meet these ISPs:
    • 50%
    • 55%
    • 60%
  • If the Beginning of Range is set to 60% and the End of Range is set to 62% and the Step Value is set to 1 - then the tool will calculate data sets that meet these ISPs:
    • 60%
    • 61%
    • 62%
