•The ATS self-contained grade code is aligned to the student / teacher ratio.
•CAP class codes are three characters. A letter followed by two numbers. For example, the FIRST self-contained in an elementary,
secondary school with ATS grade code 951 or 961 will have a CAP class code of E01. The SECOND class created with these grade
codes would have a CAP class code of E02.
•Elementary/Middle schools CANNOT have two official classes with the SAME CAP code .
