[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]16 is not typical.  My 3 kids have had 21-34 over the last decade or more.[/quote]

When they had 34, do they add a teacher’s assistant? Wow.[/quote]
Prior to 5th grade, it’s illegal to have more than 30 in VA.[/quote]

FCPS presents averages to the public NOT how many are in the classroom for language arts +social studies and math + science.  
It's illegal to have more than 24 in    language arts for grades 6-12.  https://www.doe.virginia.gov/boe/quality/soq_max_class_size.pdf

[i]Each school board shall assign licensed instructional personnel in a manner that produces 
divisionwide ratios of students in average daily membership to full-time equivalent teaching 
positions, excluding special education teachers, principals, assistant principals, counselors, and 
librarians, that are not greater than the following ratios: (i) 24 to one in kindergarten with no 
class being larger than 29 students; if the average daily membership in any kindergarten class 
exceeds 24 pupils, a full-time teacher's aide shall be assigned to the class; (ii) 24 to one in 
grades one, two, and three with no class being larger than 30 students; (iii) 25 to one in grades 
four through six with no class being larger than 35 students; and (iv) 24 to one in English 
classes in grades six through 12. [/i]

Past- parents were desperate to get their children into aap out of some base schools because of immersion.  30 and 35 were irrelevant numbers. 24:1 for English classes doesn't mean ESL but is a bogus number for fcps.  [/quote]
