[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were only 62 in K last year at Taylor. https://www.apsva.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/U-MEM_281_Membership-Summary-All-2.pdf[/quote] Wow, so a very top heavy school? I assume this is a pandemic effect?[/quote] No. They inadvertently emptied Taylor (moved most of it to asfs) when they redid boundaries as part of the key move.[/quote] ? They didn't move "most" of it. It had something like 515 students last year...[/quote] Curious that the wealthiest school is the least crowded. [/quote] The smallest school is Campbell with 373 enrolled, next smallest is Randolph with 377. Taylor has over 510. Discovery has 480. [/quote] Least crowded? Lol. My kid had 26 kids in her class last year, while the same grades at Discovery had 20/21.[/quote] It partly comes down to the remainder when you divide the classes. Is there enough to form another class, or can those 15 students be added to the 3 20-student classes to make them 25. Small school size does not guarantee small classroom. But small school makes for saner recess and lunch times, and makes space for specials (our school music teacher is on a cart -- no classroom).[/quote] This. Big classes do not equate to overcrowding. That is due to budget cuts/reqr class sizes. Crowded schools have trailers, lunch starting at 10am, issues with coordinating specials (art, PE) and recess times. [/quote]
