Graphiq’s new Preschools topic and visualization suite add 9 visualization templates to our knowledge graph, helping us visualize everything from relative preschool program size to the proportion of students with learning disabilities.

This topic and viz suite were compiled using data from NCES Private School Survey, NCES Common Core of Data, Civil Rights Data Collection & Head Start Program Information Report.

Preschools visualizations can be found in Graphiq Search by searching for {school name} + preschool + {city} (example: Sweetwater Episcopal Academy preschool Longwood).

Insights on the data from Chloe, a Graphiq Knowledge Engineer who focuses on education: Working with this data was challenging because there is no comprehensive dataset for preschools. To overcome the lack of a singularly comprehensive dataset, I combined and restructured three datasets for private preschools, public preschools, and head start preschools (head start program is a comprehensive early childhood education, health & nutrition program for low income families). We now have the first comprehensive table of preschool data encompassing private, public, and head start preschools. This topic is also the only preschool search engine that provides data beyond basic location, hours & tuition data.

Some Highlights:

Search term: St. Paul Catholic School preschool Pensacola, FL

Search term: Ethnic distribution of preschoolers at M.L. King Elementary in Kansas City, MO

Search Term: Preschoolers with limited English proficiency Cooper Elementary in Clayton, NC
