[quote=Anonymous]I'm talking elementary schools: There is no difference for Title 1 schools, they just happen to sometimes be under-enrolled. DCPS has a standard for PS3 and PK4, which is dictated by the federal government (due to blending Head Start into DC's early childhood). It's 16/18 respectively I believe (and our popular Title 1 school is always at that limit. The upper grades range from 20 to 26. I'm not sure whether there is a WTU dictated upper limit but I think it could go as high as 30 about. There definitely is a limit imposed by fire code regulations. So you might see that upper limit depend a little on the size of classrooms. And another variable is how a school allocates its paraprofessionals (aids). There is one (full-time) required in PS3 and PK4 and typically one for K (required?). But there are other aids, which tend to be allocated to larger classrooms.[/quote]
