Dated versions never change. ## Query The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-state-school-enrolments-february/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-state-school-enrolments-february/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-state-school-enrolments-february/rows?collection_year=eq.2019&limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/qld-state-school-enrolments-february/aggregate?group=year_level&metric=sum.ft_enrolments&collection_year=eq.2019 Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`. - `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. - `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. - `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. - `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you. - `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated. - `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent. - `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

Open https://publicdata.au/d/qld-state-school-enrolments-february/latest/data.csv.

Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-state-school-enrolments-february/v/2022-09-19/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 44,580 rows on a records sheet, the field list on a second sheet and the provenance on a third. The CSV also opens in Excel. https://publicdata.au/d/qld-state-school-enrolments-february/v/2022-09-19/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### What years does State school enrolments by school and year level, February census cover? The current version covers 2015 to 2019. Each release from Education becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online. ### How often is State school enrolments by school and year level, February census updated? Education has not updated it since 2022. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use State school enrolments by school and year level, February census commercially? Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for State school enrolments by school and year level, February census? No. The publisher is Department of Education, and its page is https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/state-school-enrolments-by-school-and-year-level-february-census. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.xlsx with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### How do I get only the rows for one collection year? Every version has one JSON file per value of collection_year, 5 files in the current version, listed with row counts at https://publicdata.au/d/qld-state-school-enrolments-february/v/2022-09-19/by/collection_year/index.json. For example https://publicdata.au/d/qld-state-school-enrolments-february/v/2022-09-19/by/collection_year/2018.json holds the 8,932 rows where collection_year is 2018. ### What is in each row? Each row is one state school, one year and one year level, with the number of full-time students enrolled at the February census, and the school's region, council area, remoteness area, category and type. ### Why does a school have enrolments before it opened? The publisher combined the history of schools that were amalgamated, using the school structure as at February 2019, so a school created by amalgamation can show enrolments for earlier years. ### Why is there a small Year 12 group in 2019? A half cohort entered Prep in 2007 when the school starting age changed, and that cohort was in Year 12 in 2019. ## What this site did to the data Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.xlsx`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/qld-state-school-enrolments-february.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/qld-state-school-enrolments-february.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
