Data sources: DOE class size reports • All class size data is posted on DOE website from 2006 on at http://schools.nyc.gov/AboutUs/schools/data/classsize/classsize.htm • We use DOE November reports for each year based on the October register. • The updated February reports include class size data from January which tend to be smaller especially in high school because many students have dropped out by then • These class size averages include data for general education classes, ICT (inclusion classes) and gifted classes, but not self-contained special education classes capped by state law • For the long term trend, for years before 2006-7, we employ data from the NYC Independent Budget Office which received it from DOE
