[quote=Anonymous]I don't have the impression that Title I vs. Focus vs. Not Focus makes much of a difference here when the actual issue is a lack of physical space. So, a school might have a different "guideline" for class size based on its percentage of kids receiving FARMS, but none of that matters if there is actually no physical space for extra classrooms. So, for example, Takoma Park ES started last year with more kids than recommended for its Focus status in most classes/grades. That's not due to lack of funding, it is because they've fully maxed out classroom space + room for portables. Rolling Terrace was able to get class sizes back down, but only after kicking out the magnet Spanish program and instituting a program for in-bounds kids only. [/quote]
