NOTE: The universe for this table includes outlying
areas, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense schools.
|
|
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 577 or less, and 25 percent have a membership
of 1,325 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 871 pupils in membership. Dividing all students in
regular schools by the number of such schools yields a mean, or
average, size of 1,080.2 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 the schools in the district are clustered
closer to the mean value while larger standard deviations indicate
that school size is spread more widely across the range of possible
values.
