During the first semester of the 2008-09 organizational year, the School District of Bruce Middle School conducted 62 semester sections of which 47 course sections or 78.8% enrolled less than 20 students/section; 14 course sections or 22.6% enrolled 20-25 students/section; 1 course section or 1.6% enrolled 26-29 students/sections; and no course sections enrolled 30 or more students/section. The Project Consultants concluded that the School District of Bruce operated a significant number of its middle school course sections at a cost/ineffective level during the 2008-09 organizational year. © Roger Worner Associates, Inc. 87
TABLE 11-B SCHOOL DISTRICT OF BRUCE SECONDARY CLASS SIZES 2008-09 School Less than 20 20-25 26-29 30 or larger Total Middle School* 47 14 1 0 62 % 75.8% 22.6% 1.6% 0.0% 100.0% High School* 77 11 6 0 94 % 81.9% 11.7% 6.4% 0.0% 100.0% * Semester 1 only. During the same organizational year, Bruce High School delivered 94 semester sections of which 77 course sections or 81.9% enrolled less than 20 students/section, while 11 sections or 11.7% enrolled 20-25 students/section, and 6 sections or 6.4% enrolled 26-29 students/section. There were no semester course sections that were operated with enrollments of 30 students or greater/section. The Project Consultants concluded that Bruce High School operated an exceedingly large number of course sections with enrollments of less than 20 students/section (at a cost/ineffective level) during the 2008-09 organizational year. The school district may anticipate that, as student enrollment continues to decline, the organization can anticipate reductions in teaching/learning staff and course offerings, accompanied by decreasing class sizes and increasing cost/ineffectiveness throughout programming at both the middle and high school levels. © Roger Worner Associates, Inc. 88
