[quote=Anonymous]No, Lafayette doesn't do this. I'm not sure there is anything unique to how they manage the school, but I think one of the most important things that makes it feel manageable is that it is also a physically large school (at least for an elementary school). With the exception of I think 4th grade, most of the grades are clustered together in the same wing/part of the school. Grades stay together for recess and lunch, and the outdoor area for recess is very large compared to other schools. PreK and K have their own playground space. Almost the entire outside space is utilized for before and after school line-up so that there isn't a bottleneck at a particular door. The hallways are relatively wide. Overall, this means that it doesn't feel crowded even though there are a lot of students.[/quote]
