We have a cap of 20 per class (Ontario, Canada). I'm not sure if it's provincial or federal.

I have a rising 1st grader and rising 4th grader, all our classes over the years have been 23 kids or less. This is APS.

How? HR only approves additional staff based on overall numbers. Those class sizes wouldn't make the cut in HR's eyes.


No idea. A "typical" grade at our school has 5 teachers (the grades are about 120 kids) but whenever a "large" grade rolls thru, that grade gets a 6th class. Last year it was the 3rd grade, this year it will be the 4th.

I thought the principal has some discretion about stuff like this? We are in LCPS.


Oh. That could be the difference. I'm in FCPS.

This can vary greatly from year to year. I have taught 2nd and 3rd grade. In recent years my third grade classes have ranged from about 18-30 depending on the year.

Last year our kindergarten classes were all in the upper 20s.

I am wondering how many kids are in your child's elementary class...kindergarten through third grade.
Please list your child's grade and number of kids in the class and the school. I am doing research about schools for my child who will enter kindergarten in a couple of years.
