Now, what are the numbers for your school? You can find them on the second page of your school's at-a-glance report, near the top, in the box titled Class Size/Staff Ratio[/quote]

I find the ratios misleading (not just at the schools listed above but at all schools). Are they including art, music and PE and others? Those only meet once per week. Most of the time the kids are in their main classroom so that ratio is useless.[/quote]

Art, music, and PE teachers are instructional staff, aren't they? It's the ratio of students to instructional staff, not the ratio of students to classroom teachers.

Also you can just compare the average class sizes.[/quote]
