Durham Public Schools

Data science for operations and planning at Durham Public Schools (2025)

2025

A team of students led by researchers in the Durham Public Schools planning department will analyze, map, and visualize student enrollment and demographic data in Durham County. Potential projects for next summer include working with Census and DPS data to develop models that explain DPS enrollment trends historically and across space. This work will help DPS plan and manage student enrollment and improve fairness in its student assignment policies.  

Project Lead: Vitaly Radsky, Durham Public Schools Planner
