[quote=Anonymous]There are no k-8 public schools in FCPS. It's either K-6 or a few have K-5; Middle schools are 7-8th or a few must have 6th grade included. Some of the smaller schools is Sleepy Hollow and Franconia. Many schools have 800-ish students. How many kids in a classroom varies dramatically by school, but it's not because the school as a whole is big or small. At the elementary school level it just depends on the school whether they switch teacher for math and reading or whether they stay with the same teacher and try to break into smaller groups within that classroom. My kids school has a philosophy of NOT swithching teachers a lot b/c they think the teacher/student relationship is really important in the elementary grades. Other schools do switch even in first grade. So, it depends.[/quote]
