Teachers:How many students do you have in your class?

Question

I am a teacher in a more urban district and our class sizes are very large. I am interested to hear about your class. What grade you teach and how many students you have? Thanks!

Answer 1

I teach seventh grade and my classes for next year will have 25 students in each.

Answer 2

In most CA school districts, the cap is 20 on grades 1-3 and then goes up to 34 so most 4th & 5th grade classes have 30-34 students and middle school has up to 38 per class.

My first district allowed up to 32 in Kinder and the WORST days subbing I ever had were trying to deal with 32 five year olds all by myself with no aids or help, far worse than middle school!

Answer 3

I teach in a suburban school district in a relatively well-off area.  (Though we have finally been reached by the financial crisis...)

I teach 3rd grade currently -

First year - 24

Second year - 23

Third year - 23

Fourth year - 22

Fifth year - 23

I believe they cap K/1 @ 22, 2/3 @ 24, 4/5 @ 26 - however, these caps are just in place for the start of the year.  Usually by November there are some overages.

Answer 15

I'm a first grade teacher in an inner-city school. Through the year, my class is capped at 22 students. In May, however, the cap is lifted and the numbers can increase. I don't think I've had more than 24 students on my roster at one time.

I must add that, while these numbers may seem small to some, my classroom can really only hold about 22 students. It's a bit cramped. :(
