Authors: Michael Howard, Monte Hunter

School administrators and facility planners are often faced with the difficult task of balancing academic effectiveness with operational efficiency in K-12 public schools.

Using geographically weighted regression analysis, the relationship between various metrics are explained including their impact on school design.
