Choose to see metrics for boroughs, school districts, or schools. You can only view metrics for one of these types at a time. Choosing a different metric category will reset all filters and selections.
When the selected metric category is School, there are borough, district, level, and program multiselect filters available. Choosing a borough will filter to only schools in that borough, choosing a district will filter to only schools in that district, choosing a level will filter to only schools at that level (elementary, middle school, high school, etc.), and choosing a program will filter to only high schools with that program (Animal Science, Engineering, etc.). Choosing a different filter will reset all selections.
Click, drag, and let go on any of the y-axes to brush a metric of interest. This will filter the data to only the datapoints within the brushed area. For instance, if you are only interested in boroughs, districts, or schools with graduation rates between 45% and 55%, brush 45-55. Setting or changing a brush will reset all selections.
Click, drag, and let go on any of the x-axis labels to reorder the axes. This will enable you to see relationships between metrics that are next to each other.
