household composition (one or two-parent household), home ownership, and English
language ability.
This is calculated at the census block group level using 2020 American Community

*Staff building utilization: The percent that brick-and-mortar classrooms are being utilized, as
calculated on the number of physical classrooms and the number of classroom teachers,
assuming all teachers have their own classroom. Schools that are overutilized must manage
through “float” and/or portables, as applicable. 130% utilization means every classroom is in use
during all periods.
**Estimated utilization is based on 25 students per classroom.
