That curiously, class size doesn't seem completely determined by population density.
Oh, and I suppose that the uninhabited islands of Jamaica Bay have a district.

I’ve never been to NYC but I’m guessing that long, thin island is where they make that really good iced tea?

Long Island is technically Brooklyn + queens (pictured here, part of NYC) + Nassau and Suffolk counties (not pictured here, not part of NYC). Colloquially when people refer to Long Island tho they are referring to either Nassau or Suffolk county

Brooklyn, Queens and that little strip are the only parts of Long Island in New York City. About 15 miles, but the island is 118 miles long in total.

Kinda weird and unexpected for the disricts with the smallest class size.
Other than downtown brooklyn, I see the Bronx, Harlem, Brownsville, and bed stuy school districts have some of the smallest class sizes. Those are basically some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city.

I thought NY school sizes would be bigger........
The "max" here is smaller than some of the classes I took.
We had a few classes that had 30-32 kids per class.
And I grew up in a rather average size town. Nothing even CLOSE to the size of NYC.
Like a city of less than 150,000.
Can't imagine how nice it'd be to have an average class size of 18.

Looks like class size is inversely correlated with income, but it's probably not that significant.

Sorry if this has been mentioned - but is public/private distinction made? At least in my state, that makes all the diff in class size..

*New York City. On any other forum, clarifying city or state probably isn't as necessary...

Should say new york city instead of new york. Big difference.
