[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As so many have said, info you get for this year really isn't all that useful for more than five years from now when you'll have a school age child.
At my son's school we sort of lucked out.  Most grades have four classes, but my sons grade is slightly larger than average, so he has five classes.  So his classes have been 22 kids each while the grade above him is always closer to 26.  A few more kids move into that grade and their size will go down while if a few kids move out of my sins grade his class sizes will go up.[/quote]

OP here. It's useful in a limited way, to be considered along with other factors. We are in WJ pyramid right now, renting and the amount of new multifamily developments just finished, in progress or already approved to start is staggering.   Given that most of the Westbard development will be districted to Whitman, overcrowding is a valid concern to look at.  I understand that it varies from year to year, but with the increase of density of housing, it will not go down.  So the fundamental dilemma is whether to put more $$ into buying in the Whitman pyramid, or pay less for housing elsewhere and go private. Then other considerations get added in - like commute, resale value, etc. So I am still learning about the school stuff, but it's not a completely naive effort overall - the housing decision making process.

I'd like to thank separately the PPs who gave specific examples of class sizes and commented on facilities, etc. it's exactly what I was looking for.[/quote]
