This might help with a project i've been toying with. obviously US focused, but parse all the school calendars I could find and then query the dataset for like "when is the best time I could go XYZ and see as few school kids as possible"

would look at schools in the area and look at all the calendars and show the time where the majority of schools are in session

This... might be a bad idea.

Unfortunately there are some perverts who would love to use it for the inverse reason.

How so? I don't think it is especially difficult to find children and I don't see how this would help perverts.

This seems more useful for example finding out when statistically there be the least amount of families traveling to Disney World, or a particular beach in Florida etc.. by avoiding the most common Spring Break weeks.
