Apologies, if you have 9 ECE classes and only 368 students, then your other grades average approx 35 students. And doesn't Miner have some self-contained classrooms as well? How could you possible have another grade with 3 homerooms? If you did, the other grades would average 30 students. Looking at the numbers, I assumed you must have 1 classroom in some grades. If not, you must have many classrooms that are way underenrolled (DCPS target is 22; 20 is considered full). Also, Miner is way underenrolled for capacity. You may be "overenrolled" based on projections, but that's an accounting thing not an actual capacity issue.

In any case, when my child attend ECE at Miner, her PK3 classroom was almost half white and just over half UMC. Perhaps things have changed? I had assumed, if anything, the gentrification trend in ECE had accelerated, but perhaps that's incorrect?[/quote]

We have 420 something students enrolled currently.

Our PreK classes are not full.

We have 3 Kindergarten classes ( one is over the limit), we have 3 first grade classes. One of our self-contained K-2 classes is 6 kids over the limit.

We have 2 second grade classes both over the limit.

3rd grade is at the cap. Both 4th grade classes and one 5th grade class are over 20.

We have long term subs teaching in 3 classrooms. We are down a special education teacher and a special education aide.

People keep speaking about Miner like they have a clear understanding of the issues, but you really don’t.[/quote]

If Miner really increased more than 50 students YOY that’s quite positive. Is that actually true though?[/quote]
