  If you would like more detailed information or additional schools, please let me know!

  1. The agent provides a specific number of high schools in California, stating there are 2,221. This figure aligns with data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), which reported approximately 2,300 public high schools in California for the 2023-2024 school year. Given the dynamic nature of educational data, a slight discrepancy is reasonable.

  2. The agent offers detailed information for five example high schools, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and links for more information. This structured presentation enhances clarity and provides users with actionable data.

  1. While the agent lists five high schools, it does not clarify the criteria for their selection. Providing context, such as whether these schools were chosen based on geographic diversity, performance metrics, or other factors, would improve completeness.

  2. The agent claims the ability to search for schools based on various criteria. However, in this response, it does not offer to provide additional schools based on specific user preferences, such as location or school type. Incorporating this capability would align the response more closely with the agent's stated functions.

  These districts are ranked based on their historical performance and the number of schools they manage. Let me know if you need more details or information about other districts!

  1. The agent acknowledges the issue with retrieving the top-ranked school districts in Texas and attempts to provide alternative information based on historical data. This demonstrates an effort to address the user's request despite technical limitations.

  1. The agent's response lists districts with relatively low rankings (e.g., A W Brown Leadership Academy ranked 949 out of 968) as the top-ranked districts in Texas. This is incorrect and misleading.

  2. The response fails to provide the actual top 5 ranked school districts in Texas as requested by the user.

  3. The agent claims the ability to provide school and district rankings but fails to deliver accurate and relevant information in this instance.

  2. The agent clearly communicates the absence of elementary schools in the specified zip code and invites the user to provide alternative criteria for the search.

  1. While the agent correctly identifies the lack of elementary schools in the specified zip code, it does not provide information about nearby zip codes or suggest alternative search parameters that might yield relevant results.

  Can you provide detailed information about the school district with ID 123456 in New York, including the number of schools, total student enrollment, and contact details?

  It appears that the district ID "123456" is not valid as it does not conform to the required 7-digit format for district IDs. Could you please provide a valid 7-digit district ID for a school district in New York?

  1. The agent correctly identifies that the district ID "123456" does not conform to the standard 7-digit format typically used for school district identifiers. This demonstrates an understanding of the expected data format.
