OP here: One teacher per class (this is public school).

You don’t really know what kind of student your kid is yet. But I don’t know that a difference of 5 kids is that significant. I would go with the better school overall.

Way more of the contest matters

I’d go with smaller class sizes assuming they stay that way thru elem school?

Co-teachers or not? I’d generally go with the small class size.

Parents who’ve been here before, which of these would be a better learning environment for our rising K?

- Large grade (170ish) but small classes (17-19 students per class)

- Smaller grade (75ish) but larger classes (24-25 per class)
