[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The class sizes vary year to year-last year, my first grader had 28 in the class, but this year in second there are only 23. The principal is pretty good about giving you a smaller class every other year, or at least that has been our experience thus far.

However, with the looming big budget cuts to FCPS next year and a board member like Janie Strauss looking out for cluster 1 schools, we are all doomed to larger class sizes next year and going forward, unless some of the AAP volume is offset by Kent Gardens opening local level IV at their school next fall. A lot of KG families still may choose Churchill though given its reputation. Remains to be seen.[/quote]

I'm not sure why having Local Level IV at KG impacts class size.  If enough kids go back to KG, you just end up with fewer classes, but they could be the same size.

I guess you were also taking a dig at Janie Strauss.  The Dranesville representative is just one voice on the School Board.  It's a pipe dream to think that Board members in Mason, Braddock, Lee and Mount Vernon with lower test scores, fewer kids in AAP, and more ESOL and FARMS kids are going to roll over and agree Cluster 1 doesn't get enough resources.
