The Shevewood LLIV class is also very small.

20:03 Wolftrap and Vienna Elementary both had those numbers last year and this year. There are similar numbers at Flint Hill and Marshall Road.

I have no idea. I guess I'll find out when the class list is distributed. Is it standard for first grade to have 1 teacher with no assistant?




yes

Any more than 23 in 1st seems like too many. For goodness sakes, it is such an important year because the kids need to really learn to read.

Agree, PP. The principal has a lot of discretion but likes to blame the formula to avoid heat form the parents in the grades with the larger classes.

I am not sure, but I don't think that music, art, etc. are factored into the formula. I do think that special ed is factored in with the special ed kids somehow. I think they make it fuzzy on purpose.
