Dashboard does NOT accurately report class sizes as there are kids that are counted seperately in there and are not included in the class size averages. So looking at Dashboard does not get you the info that we are discussing here. If you are reporting that Sleepy Hollow has 15 kids in several classrooms, and Mount Eagle has 15 kids from personal experience, that's one thing, but to grab the info from Dashboard and state that this is how it is is NOT correct. I say this because according to our chart on Dashboard we are at 19 average in the 5th grade, and we have no fifth grade classrooms with 19 or fewer kids. Like someone already said, our special education students are not included in that number, so the average is way too low. [/quote]

I'm a substitute teacher and have been at both of those schools.  The class sizes are accurate.[/quote]
Have you been there this year? What were your experiences like?[/quote]

Yes.  Both schools have nice kids.  Mount Eagle has more of a mix of kids -black, white, Hispanic, and Asian.  Sleepy Hollow is mostly white and Hispanic.  I think the kids are better behaved at Sleepy Hollow but the Mount Eagle kids are a good group of kids.  Mount Eagle seems like a stricter/more rigid school than Sleepy Hollow.[/quote]
