How to read this table: Using Dade County as an example, the table
shows that 25 percent of the schools have a pupil membership of
584 or less, and 25 percent have a membership of 1,289 or more.
If all the regular schools in Dade County were listed by size, the
school at the mid-point on the list (the median) would have 877
pupils in membership. Dividing all students in regular schools by
the number of such schools yields a mean, or average, size of 1,074.6
students. The standard deviation is a measure of how schools in
the district are distributed between the minimum and maximum compared
to the mean. Smaller standard deviations indicate that schools in
the district are closer to the mean value while larger standard
deviations indicate that school size is spread more widely across
the range of possible values.
