How do private K-12 schools differ across the US?
Which School Associations send the highest percentage of graduates to college?
Who is sending the most Students of Color to college?

These questions are explored graphically below, using data from the 24,566 private schools that responded to the National Center for Education Statistic's 2013-14 survey. The visualizations only explore correlation, not causation, and are best viewed by clicking "Full Screen" in the lower right corner of the Tableau dashboard embedded at the bottom of this post.
