Great question. We are at 29 and I was hoping for some late enrollments to force another class to be opened to spread the kids out a bit. 32 is a lot of kids.

Section C seems to cap grades 1-3 at 30.

I seem to recall that 32 is the max, while 30 or less is preferred.

It's not that cut and dry. It's not just "you can't have any more than xx students in a class". There is a formula that is used to figure it all out.
