	Countywide Profile     FISCAL YEAR:  2008-09 This page includes: Schools by Type Charter Schools Districts by Type Enrollment by Grade Average Class Size Technology by School Type Related links:  Definitions This site reports data for California's K-12 public school system only. California’s public education system is immense: more than six million students in more than 9,900 schools and programs that county offices of education (COEs) provide. These are governed by almost 1,000 elected school and county boards and regulated by a complex Education Code, with a finance system that is largely controlled by the Legislature and governor. These Ed-Data Profiles provide a comprehensive picture of each school, district and county, with statewide totals and links to additional data or explanations. The Profiles are organized in three sections: General Information, Students, and Staffing. Click on the tabs to move between them. This countywide profile is a summary of all schools/districts in the county, including those run by county offices. Information about programs run by county offices is included under District Profiles; county office programs are, however, not part of the Compare Districts function. Financial information for county offices is on the county tab (Financial Reports for County Office). Click here to learn how COEs provide fiscal oversight and assistance to school districts.   Schools by Type Alameda County, 2008-09   Number of Schools Enrollment Full-Time Equivalent Teachers1 Pupil-Teacher Ratio2 Elementary 225 103,267 5,410.3 19.1 Middle 56 39,079 1,818.6 21.5 Junior High 1 182 8.0 22.8 High School 63 63,957 3,023.6 21.2 K-12 4 2,314 102.4 22.6 Alternative 10 1,328 78.7 16.9 Special Education 2 169 29.4 5.7 Continuation 18 2,554 147.6 17.3 Community Day 7 133 19.1 7.0 Opportunity 2 252 13.7 18.4 Juvenile Court 1 331 22.9 14.5 County Community 1 183 10.5 17.4 Nonpublic, Nonsectarian3   395     State Special Schools 2 482 115.1 4.2 Total 392 214,626 10,799.9 19.9 1 FTE teacher counts include those assigned to a particular type of school; district and county office of education teachers not associated with a school are excluded. 2 The Pupil-Teacher Ratio is enrollment divided by the number of full-time equivalent teachers. Because some teachers are not assigned to a classroom, the Pupil-Teacher Ratio is usually smaller than the average class size. 3 Nonpublic, nonsectarian schools serve as an alternative Special Education service available to districts, Special Education Local Plan Areas (SELPAs), county offices of education, and parents. "Nonsectarian" means a nonpublic school or agency that is not owned, operated, controlled by, or formally affiliated with a religious group. Schools by Type definitions Source: California Department of Education, Educational Demographics Office (CBEDS, assign08 7/27/09, pubschls 8/3/09, sfib0708 7/7/09) Schools vary in their grade-level configuration. Most elementary schools encompass K-5, middle schools 6-8, junior high 7-9, and high schools 9-12. This table includes charter schools in the appropriate category.
