[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP from a couple weeks ago. My DC is in 6th at Stuart Hobson, the class size for academic subjects is ~32. There are ~140 6th graders, split into 5 sections for math, English/language arts, social studies, science (earth science in 6th grade). If evenly divided, that would be 28 per section. One of the 5 sections in each academic subject is "honors". I believe, but haven't seen class lists, and my kids doesn't count the number of other kids in the class, that the 'honors' section may be a bit larger. The principal told me that if a class has 35 kids, the teacher gets bonus pay, so there might be classes up to 34 students. Overall, very happy with the combination of offerings at S-H for our family, but feel that the class size is a bit larger than most other middle schools (as evidenced by this thread), and wonder about hiring more teachers to lower class size. thanks to those who responded.[/quote]
