Class Size Statistics by Grade and School Level, 2006-2026

Class size by grade information from the Government of British Columbia, spanning the 2006/2007 to 2025/2026 school years. Statistics are aggregated by school level and reflect class organization as of a specific date each year, typically between September 30 and October 15. The dataset is split into four files due to size constraints.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in average class size over time based on the 20-year time range
• Compare class size distributions across different school levels (e.g., elementary vs. secondary) based on the 'School level' aggregation
• Assess the impact of annual enrollment changes on classroom organization based on the fixed annual collection date

Strengths

• Long-term temporal coverage spanning 20 school years from 2006/2007 to 2025/2026
• Data collection is standardized annually on a specific date, typically between September 30 and October 15
• Published under the OGL-CA-2.0 license, facilitating open use

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is split into four files, which may complicate initial analysis
