[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - those class sizes are huge!  30 kids in one classroom?  With 1 teacher and 1 aid I presume?  That sounds so large.  I can't recall how many kids were in my elementary classes growing up but there were two classes in each grade and I don't recall it being that many (non-DCPS school).  We would be starting in K not pk unfortunately (although I hear there is no guarantee that one would get in at the pk3/4 level).  Would prefer not to have my little one be the only non-white kid in the class and preferably not the only black kid in the class.  Don't know anything about Shepherd - I'll do some preliminary research.[/quote]

You should call Maury and ask for a tour!  They are very small and friendly, so you could probably see for yourself and discuss the K classrooms & diversity.  Even if the classroom is big, there are a lot of great specials, a fun (small) playground, and the school is small enough that other teachers and admins might know your child by name.  Teachers and staff and upper grades are diverse, so even if the K classroom is less diverse than you would hope, it's not like your kid is going to feel out of place in general.  Depending on the kind of kid you have, the big class might on balance be OK.  The Maury neighborhood is definitely more practical than Shepherd because you can walk to the metro, shopping, etc.  [/quote]
