Index Formula In A Helper Table

I am creating a helper table so then I can graph my information. But the formula I am using gives me the information. The problem is it skips the first row for every school. So when I select the school's name from the drop down menu in the schools dashboard sheet. The table should update with the grade level.

For example; I select school 1 which has grade 3, 4, & 5. but when I look at the helper table what comes up is grade 4 and 5. the formula I am using is

{=INDEX('2009DATA'!$C$1:$1000,SMALL(IF('2009DATA'!$A$1:$A$1000=$E$3,ROW($A$1:$A$1000),""),ROW()-1))}
