Currently it seems like this dataset is only for all 51 states for one year. Would we want to expand this dataset to use multiple years? It seems like that may be an option from the data explorer.

Additionally, for the years list should there be a mapping from grade to the number right now. Right now it seems like the data is from Preschool to 12th grade, but it is a little ambiguous.

Absolutely need to expand to multiple years. The data explorer seems like a giant hassle to use, and has a lot of missing data. Someone needs to sit down and pick out the most interesting fields that are available for the entire span of time we choose.

As for the other piece, with the mapping - yes, I agree. We'll want to think carefully about how to represent that if it appears in the new version of this dataset.

Looks like there is now a lot more data available in easier formats?
