Downloads education datasets from configured mirror sources (parquet or CSV) using priority-ordered fallback, with local Polars filtering. Use when writing Stage 5 fetch scripts, downloading a specific CCD, IPEDS, CRDC, SAIPE, or other education dataset by path, discovering which files are available on a mirror, or retrieving codebook metadata. Load after using education-data-explorer to identify endpoints — this skill handles actual data retrieval, not endpoint discovery.
Download datasets from the Education Data Portal via configured mirror sources (defined in mirrors.yaml). Mirrors are tried in priority order. All filtering is done locally with Polars. The mirror data originates from the Urban Institute Education Data Portal (EDP), which is a curation and standardization layer over original federal data sources — data has been restructured with lowercase variable names, integer-encoded categoricals, and standardized missing value codes (-1, -2, -3).
Skill Provenance Note: Each
*-data-source-*skill includesprovenance.skill_last_updatedin its frontmatter. Before fetching data, check this date — if it is more than a few months old, the source skill's documentation about column definitions, coded values, and quality patterns may have drifted from the current data. Consider re-running data-ingest to re-verify before relying on stale skill guidance for query construction.
| File | Purpose | When to Read |
|---|---|---|
mirrors.yaml | Mirror URLs, priority, format, timeouts, metadata config | Understanding mirror configuration |
fetch-patterns.md | Code patterns for mirror-based fetching | Writing Stage 5 fetch scripts |
datasets-reference.md | Known dataset file paths by source | Finding the right file path for a dataset |
filters-reference.md | Complete filter variables | Filtering downloaded data locally |
query-patterns.md | Endpoint path structure reference | Understanding URL/path naming conventions |
Data is fetched by downloading files from mirrors:
Fetch Request (dataset, years, filters)
→ Try each mirror in priority order (per mirrors.yaml)
→ Build URL from mirror's url_template + dataset paths
→ Read using mirror's read_strategy (eager_parquet, lazy_csv, etc.)
→ If all mirrors fail: STOP and escalate
→ Save to data/raw/*.parquet
→ CP1 validation (source-agnostic)
Mirrors are defined in ./references/mirrors.yaml with priority ordering. Each mirror specifies:
url_template — how to build download URLsread_strategy — how Polars reads the format (eager_parquet, lazy_csv)discovery — how to check what files are availableSee ./references/mirrors.yaml for the full configuration and instructions on adding new mirrors.
Before fetching, you can check what files are available using each mirror's discovery endpoint (defined in mirrors.yaml):
# Generic discovery — works with any mirror that supports it
# See fetch-patterns.md for the full discover_mirror_files() function
from fetch_patterns import discover_mirror_files
# Check primary mirror
files = discover_mirror_files(MIRRORS[0])
if files is not None:
print(f"Available files: {len(files)}")
This eliminates guessing — if the file exists in a mirror, use it; if not, fall through to the next.
What dataset do you need?
├─ Know the exact file path?
│ └─ Use fetch_from_mirrors() with that path → ./references/fetch-patterns.md
├─ Know the source but not the exact filename?
│ └─ Check ./references/datasets-reference.md for known paths
├─ Not sure what's available?
│ └─ Query mirror discovery endpoint to list all files → ./references/fetch-patterns.md
├─ Need a codebook or metadata file?
│ └─ Check codebook column in ./references/datasets-reference.md → get_codebook_url() in ./references/fetch-patterns.md
└─ Dataset not in any mirror?
└─ STOP and escalate — dataset may need to be added to mirror
Check datasets-reference.md:
├─ Type = "Single" → One file with all years
│ └─ Use fetch_from_mirrors() → filter years locally
└─ Type = "Yearly" → One file per year
└─ Use fetch_yearly_from_mirrors() → concatenate results
All filtering is done locally with Polars after download:
# By state
df = df.filter(pl.col("fips") == 6) # California
# By year
df = df.filter(pl.col("year").is_in([2020, 2021, 2022]))
# By school type
df = df.filter(pl.col("charter") == 1)
# Multiple filters
df = df.filter(
(pl.col("fips") == 6) &
(pl.col("charter") == 1) &
(pl.col("school_level") == 3)
)
All mirrors use the same canonical path. Each mirror appends its own format extension (.parquet, .csv) via its url_template in mirrors.yaml:
{source}/{filename}
| Component | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
source | Data source | ccd, ipeds, crdc, saipe, edfacts |
filename | Dataset file | schools_ccd_directory, districts_saipe |
Example paths:
saipe/districts_saipe (SAIPE district poverty)ccd/schools_ccd_directory (CCD school directory)ccd/schools_ccd_enrollment_2022 (CCD enrollment, yearly)See ./references/datasets-reference.md for the complete file path listing.
Format-specific read behavior is driven by each mirror's read_strategy field (see mirrors.yaml):
eager_parquetdf = pl.read_parquet(url) # Polars reads HTTP URLs natively
lazy_csv# Always use lazy loading for large files
df = (
pl.scan_csv(url, infer_schema_length=10000)
.filter(pl.col("year").is_in(YEARS))
.filter(pl.col("fips") == STATE_FIPS)
.collect()
)
See ./references/fetch-patterns.md for complete code patterns.
CRITICAL: The Portal uses integer codes, not string labels. This affects filtering and interpretation.
| Variable | Integer Values | NOT These Strings |
|---|---|---|

| Sex | 1 (Male), 2 (Female), 3 (Another gender, IPEDS 2022+), 4 (Unknown gender, IPEDS 2022+), 9 (Unknown), 99 (Total) | M, F |
| Grade | -1 to 13, 99 (total) | PK, KG, 01, etc. |
| Value | Meaning | URL Path Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| -1 | Pre-K (NOT missing!) | grade-pk |
| 0 | Kindergarten | grade-k |
| 1-12 | Grades 1-12 | grade-1 to grade-12 |
| 99 | Total | grade-99 |
# WRONG - filters out Pre-K students!
df = df.filter(pl.col("grade") >= 0)
# RIGHT - Pre-K students have grade = -1
pre_k = df.filter(pl.col("grade") == -1)
total = df.filter(pl.col("grade") == 99)
