Okay, but what does this tell us?

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

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.

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..

Might also be interesting to consider property values or incomes and see if they become more uniform.

*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.
