[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the more well off local schools surrounding Haycock have larger classes.  Haycock even has a 1st grade of 15 children when neighboring schools have combination classes when they can't make a full class work.  Not sure why, but they really do have lower class sizes compared to other schools.  By at least 2-3 teachers per school it seems.  I think it's great.  I think all schools should have those size classes.[/quote]

This is the problem with judging from the outside. That first grade class is in a classroom that is about half the size of other classrooms. It likely cannot legally accommodate a larger number of students. 
Last year, Haycock had at least two 5th grade classes that had 32 students...so they are not above experiencing large class sizes. Last year the third grade classes were some of the smallest in the school. This year, they dropped a third grade class and allocated those teachers elsewhere so the third grade has class sizes on the larger end of the spectrum. Haycock class sizes fluctuate each year, just like every other school. [/quote]

My child had 32 in a fourth grade class at Haycock last year.  Everyone there was complaining about large class sizes, so I'm not sure where people are getting the idea that they are smaller than local schools.[/quote]
