| I am not sure, but I don't think that music, art, etc. are factored into the formula. I do think that special ed is factored in with the special ed kids somehow. I think they make it fuzzy on purpose. |

| Agree, PP. The principal has a lot of discretion but likes to blame the formula to avoid heat form the parents in the grades with the larger classes. |

| 25 in 1st. It already seems like too many. |

| Any more than 23 in 1st seems like too many. For goodness sakes, it is such an important year because the kids need to really learn to read. |

| I have no idea. I guess I'll find out when the class list is distributed. Is it standard for first grade to have 1 teacher with no assistant? |

| 20:03 Wolftrap and Vienna Elementary both had those numbers last year and this year. There are similar numbers at Flint Hill and Marshall Road. |

| And yet Lemon Road this year I heard has somewhere around 15 students in each 3rd grade AAP class because the administration caved and made Shrevewood a LLIV school. It's still unclear, but I heard that teachers are divided by cluster, so perhaps Lemon Road has one of the teachers that should have been at one of these other schools? Class sizes in FCPS are too hard to understand for the average parent and need to be clarified. |

The Shevewood LLIV class is also very small. |
