Utilization is an easy method for understanding the current capacity situation in a school and for comparing it with other schools. It is usually expressed as a percentage, and refers to the entire school rather than a per cent of kindergarten or of grades 1-7.
ExampleAlbion Elementary, with an operating capacity of 438 and an enrolment of 544, has a school utilization of 544/438 or 124.2%. This is consistent with Albion Elementary being full and having an additional 5 portable classrooms on-site. |
