# of students in school/class size?

Dd has 25 kids in her kindergarten class with 1 teacher. There are 650ish students in k-5. It's growing astronomically. There are 6 kindergarten classes, so about 150 kids in her grade.

Thanks for all of your input - it gives me a lot to think about.

We are in private, 186 kids, k-5, two classes per grade and in 2nd there are 16/17 kids per class. Our local public elementary has 480+ kids and a 30-1 student/teacher ratio. We have good public schools in our area though the baby boom in our city neighborhoods have really put pressure on the schools. Five or six years ago, entering K classes were 19 or 20, not 30 kids.

DD1 is in public elementary. School size is around 600. I am almost crying to write this, but her K class has 26 kids, one teacher. It's a terrific school and her teacher is amazing, but 26 kids is a LOT.

My girls are in a small public elementary, which I like. 18 in one class, 20 in the other.

High school I think we will go bigger. Middle school, I have no idea.

Fwiw I went to a tiny private school K -12. I liked it in el and hated it by high school. I think it was bad for many of us in a number of ways by h.s.
