|
Directory (local-greatschools-feed)
|
Both physical and mailing addresses will be included. Each current address field will be replaced with two new fields, prefixed with “physical-” and “mailing-”. A new column (display-address) will be added to denote which address is used on GS profiles.
|
GreatSchools stores physical and mailing address for many schools, and it is important for many of our customers to differentiate between those address types.
|
|
Demographics (local-gs-census-feed → local-gs-demographics-feed)
|
The Demographics file will be renamed from “local-gs-census-feed” to “local-gs-demographics-feed”.
|
This new file name more accurately describes what the file contains.
|
|
Demographics (local-gs-census-feed → local-gs-demographics-feed)
|
Head official name and email rows will not have an associated “year” value.
|
Unlike the other data types in the demographics file, head official data are not associated with a specific school year. GreatSchools updates head official data on a rolling basis.
|
|
Demographics (local-gs-census-feed → local-gs-demographics-feed)
|
The following demographics data types will be removed:
percent teachers in first year
percent classes taught by highly qualified teachers
percent classes taught by non-highly qualified teachers
percent teachers with valid license
percent teachers with no valid license
percent teachers with bachelor’s degree
percent teachers with doctorate degree
percent teachers with master’s degree
percent teachers with other degree
percent teachers with 3 years or less experience
percent teachers with masters or higher
average years teaching in district
average teacher experience years
|
These data types have not been updated in several years and will not be updated in the future.
|

|
|
Rating Results (local-gs-official-overall-rating-result-feed)
|
The “test-rating-id” column will be renamed to “summary-rating-id”.
|
This is a more accurate name for this id value, as it refers to the GreatSchools Summary Rating ID in the Rating Description (local-gs-official-overall-rating-feed) file, not the Test Scores themed rating.
|
|
Themed Rating Descriptions (local-gs-subrating-description-feed → local-gs-themed-rating-description-feed)

The 5 inactive community subrating columns will be removed: “avg-principal”, “avg-teachers”, “avg-activities”, “avg-parents”, “avg-safety”.
|
These columns are no longer populated.
|
|
