INSTRUCTIONAL MINUTES AND ACCESS
ACCESS TO ARTS INSTRUCTION
Beyond understanding the number of instructional minutes that elementary students receive , it is important to ask what share of students have access to these minutes . The Survey this year shows that access to instruction remains high throughout the district , as has been the case for all four survey years . In 2015-16 , across all grade levels , elementary schools provided access to arts education to an estimated 97 percent of their students . This level of access is the direct result of the fact that 86 percent of schools excelled by offering arts classes to all grade levels , while another six percent were categorized as Strong , offering access to 80-99 percent of students . The final two categories , Developing and Emerging , include schools that offer access to 50-79 percent and less than half of their students , respectively . In 2015-16 , only 9 percent of schools were in one of these lower two categories .
