Five Dundee schools are over or nearing their capacity, with occupancy above 95%.
Rosebank Primary School has more than the 278 pupils it is deemed suitable for.
And Grove Academy, St John’s RC High School and Blackness and Ss Peter and Paul primary schools are all above 95% occupancy.
Find out how many pupils your school has
You can see how full your Dundee school is in our table at the bottom.
Data on school buildings across Scotland was released this week.
We have looked at the occupancy rates for every secondary and primary school under Dundee City Council.
Although still higher than it should be, the pupil roll at Rosebank Primary School had dropped from a year previously when its occupancy level was 130.4%.
An extension at Harris Academy means it is no longer over capacity.
Dundee schools with fewer pupils
At the other end of the scale, some Dundee schools have far fewer pupils than they could have.
Those which are less than half full are:
- Sidlaw View Primary – 202 pupils (45.9%)
- St Fergus’ RC Primary – 175 pupils (47.7%)
- Ardler Primary – 129 pupils (48.3%)
The capacity of a school is based on the size of available teaching space, rather than the entire building.
Data released by the Scottish Government is based on a pupil census conducted in September 2023.
