[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS elementary schools (near DC - further out may be different but I don't know) have big class sizes.  23 kids is very common in K with 1 teacher and a floating aid shared among several K classes.  We moved to MD for the schools and are still doing private elementary to get a smaller class.  Not sure what we will do for middle school as it seems bad everywhere but am excited to have excellent high schools in MCPS.[/quote]

That's not true. I live 50 years from the DC line and my kids ES was a focus school and typically had 15-16 kids in their K-2 classes.[/quote]

Focus schools and Title 1 have smaller classes. In other schools you  an have up to 27 in K. [/quote]

Right, but none of that has to do with being an MCPS school near the DC line. We're in Silver Spring, inside the Beltway, and our first grader's class is 13 kids. If you want a small class look for a Focus on Title I school; they're not hard to find.[/quote]

Ummm, focus and title I schools are not something to actively seek.  The class sizes are smaller for a reason.[/quote]

My inside the beltway Bethesda elementary kids are in classes of 19 (first grade) And 20 (third grade).[/quote]
