[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a Diamond parent, but just examining the at a glance from last year makes me think the administration has done something specific to reduce class size in K (16 students, while the other grades were at 34...?) Even with increased enrollment, it seems likely that they would continue that policy if possible. When I read 16 kids in K, I assumed they received some type of Focus funding to reduce class size, but they don't, obviously, with only 12% FARMs. It's worth calling up the school to find out, if you haven't already.[/quote] I don't understand where they get the 16 figure from because I know that classes last year were 21/22. What I think that means is that they had an aide. So when you divide the number of students by the number of teachers/aides - they get 16 as an average. The classes this year (five Kindergarten classes) share ONE aide. Ugh. (this is PP with a child at Diamond). [/quote]
