K-12 School Profile System

Glossary: Class Size, Instructional Preparations, and Multi-graded Classes


This report shows the distribution of class size.  That is the percent of classes in the school that fall within a particular range of students.  Also, an indicator of teacher workload is shown (Workload: refers to all unique course and grade assignments for a teacher).

For example, if a teacher is assigned 5 classes of math in grade 9, this is counted as 1 preparation. If a teacher is assigned 2 classes of Science to grade 8 and 1 class of Math to grade 6, then this is considered 2 preparations.

The percentage of teachers teaching multi-graded classes is shown, as well.
