Total student enrollment at every public school in the country during the 2017-2018 school year.
Dear Department of Education,
My name is John Hennin and I'm a member of GeoLab, a data science lab at The College of William and Mary. We're working to build an open-source database tracking the United Nation's SDGs for each country. I'm hoping to use this data for that purpose. I would prefer to receive the data as an Excel file. Thank you!
Yours faithfully,
John Hennin
