Distribution of students with diverse poverty levels

Race/Ethnicity in the District

These charts demonstrate the basic distribution of students' race/ethnicity in the sample dataset. It is obvious that African American and White students are most common in the dataset. The two races account for more than 70% of the total sample. The third is Hispanic, and Asian American and Native American are the least. Both the ring chart and the bar chart show the same distribution. These mean the distribution of race in the dataset is diverse but not balanced.

Percentage of High Poverty School

There are slightly fewer poverty schools than non-high poverty schools. Of these, 43.84 percent are high poverty schools, so the difference is not significant, they are almost half to half.

Race/Ethnicity in Different Poverty Level School

These two pie charts show the percentage of different races in high poverty schools and non-high poverty schools. For high poverty schools, more than half( 57%) of the students are African American; however, for the non-high poverty school, almost half( 47%) of students are white. This represents the significant differences in the racial composition of schools that are high poverty or not, which indicate that more African American and Hispanic students face poverty.

The radar chart also indicates the same finding: although students of other races are the same in the chart, white students are obviously less in non-high poverty schools.

Relationship Between the Level of Poverty

The two histograms below illustrate both white students and African American students per type of school. Non-high poverty schools have more than 25% white students, while high poverty schools have less than 10%. On the other hand, in non-high poverty schools, there are less than 60% if African American students.

Relationship between White Race and Poverty Level

Both the scatterplot chart and correlation coefficient (-0.97) below show that the relationship between white students and poverty level is strongly negative, which means that when a school has a more white population more possible to have a lower poverty level.

Above all, we know that there is a clear gap in poverty levels among different races in American schools. The reason might be the original economic level of different races. The family's income influences the reflection of the poverty level of children in school.
