That's interesting. My daughter is in K in DCPS and there are 22 kids in the class and two teachers. I thought most private schools had significantly smaller class sizes?

I don't know if it's accurate/updated. For example, I think Beauvoir currently has a smaller class size than what's posted. Is it 18 kids with two teachers now? Thought it would be helpful to compile an updated list.

So is your real question about whether schools are honest in their descriptions/admissions information?

I think saying schools are dishonest is a little extreme. There is often a disconnect between what's happening on the ground--which is fluid--and updates to the websites.

Plus frequent sessions with subject specialists at Beauvoir either for acceleration or extra help. Reading groups/math groups and reading workshops/math workshops start in pre-k.

Above is accurate. 22 in pK, 2 teachers. Two classes of 22 in play-based K (ie no reading groups). Three classes of 15-16 with one homeroom teacher, floating Aide and specialists thereafter.

Gds will be different with new campus. Check with admissions

Christ Episcopal School: 6 kids, 1 teacher

Primary Day
16-17 students each in 2 K classes
2 lead teachers
Separate math and reading specialist to help lead teachers

Sidwell 24 2 teachers (average)
Beauvoir 18 2-3 teachers

Gds two teachers 22 kids.
Great social kickstart to the school. One teacher, 15 kids thereafter, mixed up each year half female, half male, a couple newbies.

And is Sidwell 25 kids with two teachers?
I know all these classes break out for smaller group for some instruction, but wondering about the main class they are in.

I think NPS and St Pats is smaller like 12-15 in a class, but maybe one teacher and 1 asst teacher.
Just wondering if people who are currently or recently in K at these schools can confirm?

Agreed. I had thought Beauvoir was 21 students per class, but I think in reality some classes are smaller. 21 might be a cap. Always two teachers.

Hello,
Was wondering if people could post school name and class size for K. Please also list how many teachers and asst teachers also.
Thank you!

For example,

Maret: 20 kids in K classroom, two teachers.
