What is an average class size at your school in MD
private or public.

My kids are in private school, and average homeroom sizes have ranged from 15 to 18/19. Reading and math are taught in smaller groups.

approx 21 to 24 in k-1 right now in public. Could change on first day of school (unlike private, public does not know enrollment definitively until the child walks through the door on the first day).

17 in DS's 6th grade private. Has been as high as 24, as low as 14. (that was nice).

5 classes of 24-25 in 1st grade public school

private K-8
anywhere from 25 to 34

As a public school teacher, I'd take these classes over mine any old day! discipline issues? ha!

2nd grade private: 17
1st grade public last year: 23

Would people please note the number of teachers too? A class of 22 with two teachers is very different from a class of 22 with only one teacher.

My own are in a private with classes of 22-24, with two teachers per class. So 12:1 ratio.

9th grader Mo Co last year - 37 kids in frshman honors chemistry. Did 2 experiments. Teacher said there were too many kids in class to do experiments safely. WTF!

6th grader in private - 15 kids or less in all classes. Very happy with this ratio.
