| The thread on FCPS class size got me thinking twice about moving into Fairfax County (we are considering it) how many kids are in your childS class this year. |

Why would class size affect your move to FC? I think most classes are 24-25 in Arlington, except for K where it might be smaller. That's pretty standard. Also fewer than some privates, especially Catholic. |

Really? You don't see an advantage to smaller classes? |

There's an APS class for K? What school has 18 K in APS? |

| It seems like Arlington has smaller classes. Maybe we should continue to rent here. |

| Class size is one factor to consider. Many classes have 1-2 additional support staff in the classroom with the students, do students get pulled out for advance work in small groups, etc. In the Fairfax elementary school my son attends, they have lots of support staff and small groups that help a lot with the larger classrooms. |
