[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This won't get you very useful information. MCPS has countywide class size caps. So each year, you divide the number of students into classes as close to the caps as possible. Class sizes will vary from year to year depending on how many kids there are. [/quote]

OP here and at the risk of sounding like an idiot - what happens if they are over the class size cap? For example, enrollment for 2nd grade is 132, there are 4 2nd grade teachers in the directory so works out to 32 students per class. Official cap for a non-focus 2nd grade is 28.  What do they do with surplus? Are they allowed to carry on as is?

Btw, hats off to everybody who took the time to comment "it's simple math" without pointing out where to get the missing data points. Utterly unhelpful. Obviously, I didn't know about separate school site with a detailed directory (and thanks to the PP who mentioned it, although that comment didn't really need to be mean spirited either. I don't have children yet, I am just trying to sort out where to buy a house). [/quote]
