Context School Rankings is intended for use with the school point file found in Precisely's School Boundaries product. The school rankings, combined with school data from School Boundaries, offer a comprehensive view of over 40 combined attributes for public schools throughout the United States.
Context School Rankings data and geographies are linked by IDs. A universal Context ID links to a polygon ID. The following table illustrates how these IDs map to each other:
| Context ID | Polygon ID | Polygon Product File |
| obj_id | obj_id | Public School Points |
Due to changes in data availability, several alterations have been made to the School Rankings product.
Values in the STATUS field have been updated to reflect changes in a data source for School Rankings. The following table shows mappings between the old and new values:
| Old STATUS Value | New STATUS Value |
| Operational | OPEN |
| Closed | CLOSED |
| Opened | NEW |
| Temporarily Closed | INACTIVE |
| Scheduled to be Operational | FUTURE |
| Reopened | REOPENED |
| - | ADDED |
| - | CHANGED BOUNDARY |
Other changes include:
- Puerto Rico is no longer represented in the School Rankings product.
- Values for attribute fields such as STATUS, FREE_LUNCH, etc. may sometimes be NULL. This happens either when we identify a school that has not yet been captured by other data providers or when data is not available.
