[quote=Anonymous][quote]Not the PP, and I don't recall seeing information about classes with 10 kids. There are classes in some parts of the county with fewer than 15 kids and less than 1/2 the number of students that are in classes elsewhere in the county.

Some examples from that report. Bucknell has numerous classes around 12 students including a 6th grade class. Fort Hunt has 12 kids in one class. Herndon has a 2nd grade class of 10. Weyanoke has a 5th grade class of 14. These include any level 2 students. They may have changed during the year, but at this snapshot, these were the numbers while other classes in the county at that same time were at 30-37 children.

Just saw this thread.  My kids go to Rose Hill ES which has an immersion program.  All the classes appearing on the list from the above link are for the immersion classes.  I've got kids that are not in immersion and they have 24, 26 and 27 kids in their classes.  And, Rose Hill is a Title 1 school.  I don't know if Bucknell, Ft. Hunt or Weyanoke have any 'special' programs like RH but just because you see some classrooms with low numbers on that list doesn't mean all classes in that school have few students.   [/quote]
