Student mobility data from the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE).
The original CSV data files downloaded from MSDE are available in the
data-raw/extdata
folder on the GitHub repo for the package. Mobility refers
to the movement of students from one school to another during the school
year. Three types of mobility are calculated using student entrants and
student withdrawals: Total student mobility, entry mobility, and exit
mobility. Student mobility is the percentage of students that either enter or
withdraw from a school during the school year. To calculate student mobility,
the number of entrants is added to the number of withdrawals and that sum is
divided by the average daily student enrollment.
