APS: how many are in your child's class?

Anonymous
I just confirmed my PTA directory information and was surprised that my K child has 20 kids in the class while my 3rd grander has 26. Does anybody know, off hand, what the legal max is for ARL and share your kids' class headcount?

I think the max is 26 in APS.

Title 1 school - 3rd grade - 16 kids.

It's not a question of legal it's a question of the guidelines. If I recall the max for K-1 is 22. It goes up to 26 for 3rd. A principal can seek a waiver from APS if needed, but 25-26 is the plan for 3rd grade.

it's a recommendation
K rec max = 24
3rd rec max =26

I think it's 23 in first grade. Our school doesn't do a PTA directory

19 in 1st. One of the "unfashionable" schools.

My 3rd grader at McK has 26 and it feels like an overcrowded classroom.

5th grade, Ashlawn. 30, maybe 31. It is ridiculous.
