[quote=Anonymous]Bethesda Elementary School parent here. My child had 28 kids in kindergarden class last year; I think all three K classes had about that number of students. Yet my child's class was orderly; a lot of learning happened; and my child was happy. 
This  year it's again quite a large class, about 27-28 kids (there are transients--many, but not all, are military families or families associated with the Naval Medical Center somehow who parachute in for a few months and leave). Again, my child's class is orderly; the teacher is calm and wonderful, and my child has a lot of friends. 
The entering K class this year for some reason is 20-21 kids. I am beyond jealous. It just happens--families hear about large classes and make other choices, so classes shrink and then people crowd in and classes grow again. 
 
I observed some fine schools in Washington, D.C. before moving to Bethesda. Some seemed chaotic, particularly at dismissal. We are very, very happy at BE, both with teachers, the principal, and the level of services that we are receiving. I do wish there were more music (it's once a week), but I can supplement that.
