[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate that they lie so much with their "average class size" stats.  Sure -- the average class size for 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade is 17 (!!!) kids per class!  No way!

My two kids both had 30-32 kids per class in 5th and 6th grade.  They had 28-29 in Kindergarten.  FCPS counts the special ed classrooms (which have 5 kids in them) as part of their "average class size" and then makes it look like most kids go to a classroom with 17 kids in it!

Similar to the fuzzy accounting when they "built in 10 snow days" by counting 20 min. of dismissal and arrival (walking to and from the buses) as "instructional time".  There was no new instructional time... they just re-named time that kids aren't even in the classroom as "instructional time" so that they didn't have to actually give kids the required time in school.

The class sizes on dashboard are accurate for our school, around 20-24 ish.  [/quote]

FCPS also has a lot of Title I schools, which tend to have around 20 kids per classroom.  I feel for the schools that barely miss the cut for Title I, since their needs are about the same as the Title I schools, but the resources end up being much lower.  [/quote]
