One campus shapes the city average

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Roslindale has more public-school enrollment than 42% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Brooke Charter School enrolls 57.3% of Roslindale's public-school students. That is enough concentration for one institution to pull the citywide enrollment, staffing, and Resource Index averages toward its own profile. The smaller campuses below should therefore be compared directly rather than inferred from the headline mean; their grade configurations and program footprints can be materially different even inside the same district.

Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio

7 of Roslindale's 7 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.

A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales

Roslindale lists only 7 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 131 to 2,216 students, a 17-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

City enrollment: Top 58%
School count: Top 65%
Resource Index average: 45th percentile
Teacher staffing: 99th percentile

Brooke Charter School accounts for 57.3% of all Roslindale public-school enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Roslindale a distant remainder — means Roslindale-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: Combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.

Roslindale school enrollment varies 17× across entities

Roslindale school enrollment ranges from 131 students (lowest) to 2,216 students (highest), a spread of 2,085 students. That spread reflects typical urban portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Roslindale student-teacher ratio is 9.9:1 — low (typically associated with smaller schools or per-school staffing investment that often correlates with stronger per-student supports)

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

1 of Roslindale's 7 listed schools are charters

14% of the city's listed public-school campuses are reported as charter schools in NCES CCD.
