Urbana class sizes

[Anonymous]

We’re looking to move to the area next year and like Urbana a lot. I keep hearing the schools are crowded but interested to better understand what that means. If you have kids in any of the 3 Urbana elementary schools, do you mind sharing approximate class sizes. Most interested in grades 2-5, but anything would be helpful. Thanks a lot!

Kid in one of the feeder ES.

Her class actually was pretty big. Something like 33. They just got away with having 2 classes for her grade. But the class below hers has enough to warrant 3 rooms, so the class size is pretty small.

That said, it was great. The teacher did a great job with the class size and she had a wonderful year. It's a great community.

Thanks for sharing. 33 feels very large but happy to hear it worked well.

Yes, it was very large. But it was within the guidelines for the whole county. So this could have happened at any ES in FCPS, I suppose
