Checking through schools to see how things were going and was reminded of this question that comes up sometimes…

“I added up all the schools and the number I get doesn’t match the total number. What’s going on?”

The reason for this is that, at LPS, we have many students that attend multiple buildings. Any student at The Career Academy, Bay High, or any of our focus programs also has a home school. The Student Vote results for each school pulls together any students that are assigned to that location. Therefore a student that attends East High School and The Career Academy would be represented in both counts. **BUT** that student is only counted ONCE in the “All Locations” count. Therefore, someone adding up all of the buildings would likely come to a higher number than the final totals indicate.
