How this analysis is created
Every story K-12 News publishes is read and tagged with its topic, state, organisations and key terms. Stories describing the same development are grouped, then counted over time to show what is growing, holding steady or fading. Figures come from the stories themselves and each analysis links to the original reporting. Where there are too few stories to compare periods fairly, we say so rather than showing a percentage.
