Permanent capacity (county GIS layer)

The CAPACITY attribute of the county's Public School layer. It equals the state's permanent FISH capacity for 200 of the 326 schools that have both (61%; the first-fetch spot check of 9 schools found 7), so it is only a fallback where no FISH report exists.

  • Years: 2024-25
  • 330 school-year cells across 330 schools; 0 stored as suppressed (publisher withheld)

What it cannot show

  • A convenience copy for mapping; the state FISH report is the capacity of record.

How it was checked

Every served number runs through the four-check taxonomy described on the methodology page: (i) completeness, (ii) an exact re-read of the file by independent Python, (iii-b) a second publisher where one exists, (iv) recomputation of derived values.
