[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone concerned about the sheer size of these classes at mv 8th? It seems like they are basically tripling each class size from their current pk3 sizes at p street. Isn’t that like just creating 3 whole new schools the same size they are currently running? Any information on this and how they plan on maintaining quality with such a huge expansion? [/quote]

We went to the tour and this was discussed. The classes are the same size as P St.  3 instructors in EC for 24-25 students.  I don’t know where people are getting the idea that they are tripling the class size.  Take the number iof offered spots for prek3 and PreK 4 total and divide that by 25 and you will know how many blended class (MV puts preK 3 and 4 kids together in class) there will be. Each class will have 3 instructors.  K is not blended but again will be 24-25 students per class.[/quote]

I was also on a tour and the difference is that at P street they only had 18 kids in each combo PK3-4 classroom, with three teachers (one being a trainee or aide).

Current classes are in the 20-22 kids/class range.  [/quote]

New principal on tour said same number of teachers as P, 3 as above.  They are limiting class size to 25 but she anticipates it will be more around 24.[/quote]
