DOESchool Profile Data

Note: When calculating % enrollment, look for the Curriculum section of the “School Profile Information” page. Calculate the number of pupils enrolled in the course divided by the total number of students in the school during that year. (If a fourth of your students are freshmen and 100% of your freshmen take Algebra, your percentage of all students taking Algebra I will be 25%).

2 / % of students enrolled in ALGEBRA I / 2
3 / % of students enrolled in FOREIGN LANGUAGE / 2
