Welcome to the Joint GIS Project of Jason, Whitney, and Emalie

"I hear, I know. I see, I remember. I do, I understand." (Confucius, 551 BC-479)

Goals/Objective:
Using GIS software, we will compare and contrast the socioeconomic factors of two schools in Wayne, Michigan (John Glenn and Wayne Memorial High Schools) with two schools in Ann Arbor, Michigan (Huron and Pioneer High Schools).  We will analyze the impact that these factors have on the academic performance of the students in each community.

Resources:
Census data base- examination of demographic features of each community
Clickable map- guide the viewer through the historical background of each high school
Education statistics- MEAP scores, percentage of students continuing education
