Teachers need to be very familiar with the outcome being assessed by Achievement Standard Geography 91247. The achievement criteria and the explanatory notes contain information, definitions, and requirements that are crucial when interpreting the standard and assessing students against it.The following marking schedule is designed to help teachers mark the work submitted by students for the Find the Best Site Assessment.

This layer contains 2010-2014 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data, and contains estimates and margins of error. The layer shows public vs. private school enrollment by sex by grade group. This is shown by tract, county, and state boundaries. There are also additional calculated attributes related to this topic, which can be mapped or used within analysis. Any schools that receives public funding are considered public, including continuation schools and some charter & online schools. This layer is symbolized to show the percentage of students in kindergarten through 12th grade who are enrolled in a private school. To see the full list of attributes available in this service, go to the "Data" tab, and choose "Fields" at the top right. Vintage: 2010-2014ACS Table(s): B14002 Data downloaded from: Census Bureau's API for American Community Survey Date of API call: November 28, 2020National Figures: data.census.govThe United States Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS):About the SurveyGeography & ACSTechnical DocumentationNews & UpdatesThis ready-to-use layer can be used within ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, its configurable apps, dashboards, Story Maps, custom apps, and mobile apps. Data can also be exported for offline workflows. For more information about ACS layers, visit the FAQ. Please cite the Census and ACS when using this data.Data Note from the Census:Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Data Processing Notes:This layer has associated layers containing the most recent ACS data available by the U.S. Census Bureau. Click here to learn more about ACS data releases and click here for the associated boundaries layer. The reason this data is 5+ years different from the most recent vintage is due to the overlapping of survey years. It is recommended by the U.S. Census Bureau to compare non-overlapping datasets.Boundaries come from the US Census TIGER geodatabases. Boundary vintage (2014) appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines clipped for cartographic purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2010 AWATER (Area Water) boundaries offered by TIGER. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters). The States layer contains 52 records - all US states, Washington D.C., and Puerto RicoCensus tracts with no population that occur in areas of water, such as oceans, are removed from this data service (Census Tracts beginning with 99).Percentages and derived counts, and associated margins of error, are calculated values (that can be identified by the "_calc_" stub in the field name), and abide by the specifications defined by the American Community Survey.Field alias names were created based on the Table Shells file available from the American Community Survey Summary File Documentation page.Negative values (e.g., -4444...) have been set to null, with the exception of -5555... which has been set to zero. These negative values exist in the raw API data to indicate the following situations:The margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.Either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.The median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution, or in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.The estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.The data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.

The charter, collaborative, superintendency union, and vocational (CCUV) districts layer includes the following district types:Charter - Charter schools are independent public schools that operate under five-year charters granted by the Commonwealth's Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE). The increased freedom available to charter schools coupled with increased accountability, infuses all aspects of BESE's oversight of charter schools, beginning with the rigorous application process that groups must go through to receive a charter. Once BESE has awarded a charter, the new charter school has the freedom to organize around a core mission, curriculum, theme, or teaching method. It is allowed to control its own budget and hire (and fire) teachers and staff. In return for this freedom, a charter school must demonstrate good results within five years or risk losing its charter.Collaborative - Educational Collaboratives are formed by local school committees and charter boards under the provisions of Chapter 40, Section 4E. The purpose of an educational collaborative is to supplement and strengthen the programs and services of member school committees and charter boards. All educational collaborative agreements and amendments must be approved by the member school committees and charter boards and BESE.Superintendency Union - Superintendency unions (sometimes called "school unions") are cooperative arrangements between two or more school committees (typically in small towns) to share the services of a superintendent of schools and central office staff, while allowing each town to keep its own school committee and school buildings. The law authorizing school unions was enacted in 1870, predating the law authorizing regional school districts, which was enacted in 1949.Regional Vocational Technical - Career/vocational technical education programs is the term used to denote Chapter 74-approved vocational technical education programs and non-Chapter 74 career and technical education programs. Administered by a regional vocational school committee.More details...Feature service also available.

Elementary School DistrictsThis feature layer, utilizing National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) data from the U.S. Census Bureau (USCB), displays elementary school districts in the United States. Per the USCB, "School Districts are geographic entities within which state, county, local officials, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, or the U.S. Department of Defense provide public educational services for the area’s residents. Elementary school districts provide education to the lower grade/age levels."Edgartown School DistrictData currency: This cached Esri federal service is checked weekly for updates from its enterprise federal source (Elementary School Districts) and will support mapping, analysis, data exports and OGC API – Feature access.NGDAID: 78 (Series Information for Elementary School Districts State-based TIGER/Line Shapefiles, Current)OGC API Features Link: (Elementary School Districts - OGC Features) copy this link to embed it in OGC Compliant viewersFor more information, please visit: School District BoundariesFor feedback, please contact: Esri_US_Federal_Data@esri.comNGDA Data SetThis data set is part of the NGDA Governmental Units, and Administrative and Statistical Boundaries Theme Community. Per the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), this theme is defined as the "boundaries that delineate geographic areas for uses such as governance and the general provision of services (e.g., states, American Indian reservations, counties, cities, towns, etc.), administration and/or for a specific purpose (e.g., congressional districts, school districts, fire districts, Alaska Native Regional Corporations, etc.), and/or provision of statistical data (census tracts, census blocks, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, etc.). Boundaries for these various types of geographic areas are either defined through a documented legal description or through criteria and guidelines. Other boundaries may include international limits, those of federal land ownership, the extent of administrative regions for various federal agencies, as well as the jurisdictional offshore limits of U.S. sovereignty. Boundaries associated solely with natural resources and/or cultural entities are excluded from this theme and are included in the appropriate subject themes."For other NGDA Content: Esri Federal Datasets

This comprehensive layer of California public school districts combines all elementary, secondary and unified district area boundaries into a single file and serves as the authoritative geographic data source for all school district area boundaries in California for the 2018-19 academic year. School districts are single purpose governmental units that operate schools and provide public educational services to residents within geographically defined areas. Agencies considered school districts that do not use geographically defined service areas to determine enrollment are excluded from this data set. In order to view districts represented as point locations, please see the "California School District Offices" layer. The school districts in this layer are enriched with additional district-level attribute information from the California Department of Education's data collections. These data elements add meaningful statistical and descriptive information that can be visualized and analyzed on a map and used to advance education research or inform decision making.

School districts are categorized as either elementary (primary), high (secondary) or unified based on the general grade range of the schools operated by the district. Elementary school districts provide education to the lower grade/age levels and the high school districts provide education to the upper grade/age levels while unified school districts provide education to all grade/age levels in their service areas. Boundaries for the elementary, high and unified school district layers are combined into a single file. The resulting composite layer includes areas of overlapping boundaries since elementary and high school districts each serve a different grade range of students within the same territory. The 'DistrictType' field can be used to filter and display districts separately by type.

Boundary lines are maintained by the California Department of Education (CDE) and are effective in the 2018-19 academic year . The CDE works collaboratively with the US Census Bureau to update and maintain boundary information as part of the federal School District Review Program (SDRP). The Census Bureau uses these school district boundaries to develop annual estimates of children in poverty to help the U.S. Department of Education determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to states and school districts. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) also uses the school district boundaries to develop a broad collection of district-level demographic estimates from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS).

The school district enrollment and demographic information are based on the 2018-19 academic year student enrollment counts collected on Fall Census Day in 2018 (first Wednesday in October). These data elements are collected by the CDE through the California Longitudinal Achievement System (CALPADS) and can be accessed as publicly downloadable files from the Data & Statistics web page on the CDE website.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of Back Bays, Great Egg Harbor Bay to Reed Bay, NJ . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

The National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (EDGE) program develops annually updated school district boundary composite files that include public elementary, secondary, and unified school district boundaries clipped to the U.S. shoreline. School districts are special-purpose governments and administrative units designed by state and local officials to provide public education for local residents. District boundaries are collected for NCES by the U.S. Census Bureau to develop demographic estimates and to support educational research and program administration. The NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) program is an annual collection of basic administrative characteristics for all public schools, school districts, and state education agencies in the United States. These characteristics are reported by state education officials and include directory information, number of students, number of teachers, grade span, and other conditions. The administrative attributes in this layer were developed from the most current CCD collection available. For more information about NCES school district boundaries, see: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/DistrictBoundaries. For more information about CCD school district attributes, see: https://nces.ed.gov/ccd/files.asp.

This GIS dataset shows where Geoscience Australia (GA) has acquired regional seismic reflection data as a part of Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP) in collaboration with State and Territory geological surveys, AuScope and Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR). During 2006-2011 GA collected over 6,500 line kilometres of new world-class seismic reflection data within Australia for use by industry and government. This dataset is generated from files containing CDP (Common Depth Point) coordinates of all OESP seismic surveys. The CDP line is a curve of best fit through the midpoints between sources and receivers, which optimises the fold of the data while minimising the subsurface area of reflections contributing to each nominal CDP. Each trace (source-receiver pair) is allocated to the nearest CDP bin to its midpoint. The interval between each CDP traces is 20 metres.

An attendance area school is one to which elementary, middle and high-school students are assigned based on where they live, as long as the school offers the services the student needs.

This web map of California legislative districts includes the geographically defined territories used for representation in the California State Assembly, California State Senate and the US House of Representatives from California. These three boundary layers are derived from the US Census Bureau's 2018 TIGER/Line database and are designed to overlay with the California Department of Education’s (CDE) education related GIS content.

The 80 California State Assembly Districts represent the geographically defined territories used for electing members to the lower (house) chamber of the California State Legislature. The current state assembly boundaries were determined by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission following the completion of the 2010 United States Census and will remain valid until 2020.

The 40 state senate districts represent the geographically defined territories used for electing members to the upper (senate) chamber of the California State Legislature. The current state senate boundaries were determined by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission following the completion of the 2010 United States Census and will remain valid until 2020.

The 53 congressional districts within the State of California represent the geographically defined territories used for electing members to the U.S. House of Representatives. The current U.S. Congressional boundaries in California were determined by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission following the completion of the 2010 United States Census and will remain valid until 2020

This layer represents the boundaries of 295 Public School Districts in the PSRC region. This data was compiled by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to provide boundary and attribute information for the 295 Public School Districts in the State of Washington. The polygons are the best representation of current district boundaries based on legal descriptions, county, and other available GIS data. Users should contact the local school district(s) to confirm the interpretation of district boundaries in questions.

Polygons of public and private school sites. Includes elementary, middle, and high schools. Intended use is mapping and general analysis purposes.
