*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 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.
