[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, just because the K classes are likely to be on the large side this fall doesn't mean that your child would be lost in the shuffle for K, or any other year at Brent.

PTA funds are used to hire half a dozen floating "teacher partners" (classroom aides) to improve the adult: kid ratio at least part of the school day. Some classes have full-time practice teachers on board. The higher you go in the school, the smaller the classes tend to be. Many parents work in the House of Representatives office buildings nearby, and some will return to their state when their Rep is voted out or whatever.

We haven't found that Brent is a disorganized school (and we could afford private). There are many strong teachers, including all the specials teachers. Brent offers more specials than most other public schools (Spanish, art, music, science, PE).

Good luck w/your choice.   [/quote]

To clarify, teacher:student ratios will be good in K even if a class has 25 or 26 students because each K class gets a teacher and full-time teachers aide courtesy of DCPS. After K, PTAs pay for aides.[/quote]
