Class size and teacher:student ratio at your DCPS or charter

[Anonymous]

I realize title 1 schools generally have smaller class sizes so please indicate if the school is title 1.

I'm talking elementary schools: There is no difference for Title 1 schools, they just happen to sometimes be under-enrolled. DCPS has a standard for PS3 and PK4, which is dictated by the federal government (due to blending Head Start into DC's early childhood). It's 16/18 respectively I believe (and our popular Title 1 school is always at that limit. The upper grades range from 20 to 26. I'm not sure whether there is a WTU dictated upper limit but I think it could go as high as 30 about. There definitely is a limit imposed by fire code regulations. So you might see that upper limit depend a little on the size of classrooms. And another variable is how a school allocates its paraprofessionals (aids). There is one (full-time) required in PS3 and PK4 and typically one for K (required?). But there are other aids, which tend to be allocated to larger classrooms.

Or maybe they're quick to label kids with IEPs at YY when the kids can't understand math in Mandarin.
