Becoming a Subscriber: K-12 Schools
Classification
We have three levels of K-12 School classification: Schools I, Schools II, and Schools III. ARTstor uses the following information to determine a K-12 school's classification:
- Per-pupil expenditure (PPX), based on total operating budget for public schools or annual tuition for independent schools
- Student full-time enrollment (FTE) at the school
The following tables provide the guidelines we use to assign a "score" for classification:
| Full-Time Enrollment | FTE Score |
|---|---|
| 800 and above | 3 |
| 500–799 | 2 |
| 1–499 | 1 |
| Per-Pupil Expenditure (in US dollars) | PPX |
|---|---|
| $15,000 and above | 3 |
| $10,000–$14,999 | 2 |
| Less than $10,000 | 1 |
Classification is based on the sum of the FTE score and the PPX score:
| Total Score | ARTstor Classification |
|---|---|
| 5-6 | Schools I |
| 3-4 | Schools II |
| 2 | Schools III |
ARTstor Subscription for School Districts and Groups
Because school districts and groups in the K-12 community vary widely in their organization, we will need to discuss ARTstor subscription for these institutions on a case-by-case basis. Please email us for more information.
