[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the 26:1 ratio is Hearst, as we have partner teachers through 2nd grade, and the upper grades aren’t that large. [/quote]

Seems really unlikely. My child’s early elementary class there has 20 kids, one teacher, and a partner teacher.[/quote]

PK4 is capped at 20.  Come back and visit us when your kid is in 1st and has 25 classmates.  [/quote]

And there is a teacher and a dedicated aide.[/quote]

Parents all have biases and agendas, so take their opinions with a grain of salt.  So go ask one of the teachers, in private, how effectively they feel they can educate 25 or more kids in one class even with an aide.  You will (should) be pretty shocked at what you here.  [/quote]

If you want smaller class sizes you will have to go private. No successful public school can guarantee small class sizes when people keep moving in-bounds. The buildings are at capacity and there is no where else to put the growing in-bounds population. This is not an OOB issue. Hearst didn’t even accept OOB this year except for one or two in a couple of grades. [/quote]
