I called it a matrix mostly because this is how I am visualizing it. They are full of numbers but only as representatives of students and schools.

In the end I need to figure out how to save the data a csv formated for excel but that is for later I was just trying to make it easier to debug my code. Thanks Vincent Davis 720-301-3003
