*Table
includes 28 Department of Defense and 24 BIA school districts
that are technically federally operated agencies; this is in order
to report data for these agencies in the table.
NOTE: Distributions cannot be calculated for states and outlying areas that
have a single district. Table excludes agencies for which no students were
reported in membership. U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District
of Columbia. The mean is the average. If all districts were ranked by size
from smallest to largest, half of the districts would fall below the median.
For example, dividing the total number of students by the total number of
districts yields an average district size of 3,179 students (mean), while
half of the districts in the United States have 1,029 or fewer students
(median). The percentile indicates what percent of cases a value exceeds;
for example, 10 percent of districts have fewer than 117 students.
