* Average class size for elementary schools has been computed by dividing the total number of

assigned seats (membership) by the number of self-contained classes (classes consisting of

various grade levels were accounted for accordingly in the computation). For secondary schools,

class s ize has been computed for each sub ject area by divid ing the to tal number of assigned seats

(membership) by the number of full-time equivalent teachers assigned teaching responsibility.
