Derived metric: computed by derived.ts from enrollment_oct_g*; the inputs have their own pages.

What it cannot show

  • Only meaningful at schools that serve both grades; magnet and choice programs that start in later grades distort it.

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.

(iv) Recomputed from the served inputs
