As a fourth grade teacher in Burbank, CA, my class size numbers anywhere from 30 - 35 on average, usually around 34. I smile to think how nice it must be to have such small class sizes as your district, which sounds like it must be in Massachusetts. Certainly there is a reason why your state is tops in educating its children. The smaller class size must play a big role in successful student outcomes at the elementary level. Good luck to you in your budget crisis. We are in a more severe situation, but I lament any cuts to our children's futures.
