Our topic is the impact of book circulation on academic performance in Chicago. Our first data source contains academic progress reports and performance indicators for public schools in the city of Chicago. Our second data source tracks book circulation from Chicago public libraries. To compare these two data sources, we calculated average academic performance indicators and average book circulation rates by zip code. This allowed us to depict any possible correlations between library circulation and different measures of academic performance (i.e. reading and math scores, ACT scores, graduation rates, and college enrollment rates and numbers) using scatterplots, bar graphs, and a bubble graph. Overall, we found that as the grade level increases, the positive relationship between book circulation and academic performance decreases to the point of little or no significance.
