[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there somewhere I can find the maximum class sizes for elementary school? I tried searching the MCPS site but wasn't able to locate any info.[/quote]

They aren't maximums, they're merely guidelines:

Classroom teacher positions for Grades K–5
are allocated based on enrollment projections
to Kindergarten using a class size guideline of
24, to Grades 1–2 using a class size guideline of
25, to Grade 3 using a class size guideline of 26,
and to Grades 4-5 using a class size guideline of
28. Additional classroom teacher positions are
provided to focus and Title I schools to Grades
K–2 using a class size guideline of 18, to Grade 3
using a class size guideline of 24, and to Grades
4-5 using a class size guideline of 26.

Also remember that those guidelines are averaged out over grade bands so it’s very common to have considerably more in one grade while less in the other. Schools don’t do combined 4/5s and such like they used to do.[/quote]
