Class Size

<p>A hot button issue. How many kids are in your classes? I mean subjects, not grades.</p>

<p>The max in New York is 34 and most of my classes are usually right there, like Chemistry was. However, more advanced classes have less kids because there aren't enough people who want to take it, so my new AP Calc class has 9. Last year APUSH had around 25. I think AP Comp Gov is going to have 10-12. But AP Bio has at least 25 as well, which is weird considering it's one of the hard APs.</p>

<p>Max 30, 20-25 normally, 8 in textiles (was 6 halfway through the year)</p>

<p>I think the biggest class I ever had was a class of 32 (it was a computer class, and that was the amount of seats in the class), but usually, it’s between 15-20. In my Spanish 3 class, we had 6 people (4 dropped out at the beginning).</p>

<p>My math class has about 19 kids, but that’s because people have been dropping left and right. All the other classes hover around 27.</p>

<p>Our school doesn’t let kids drop out of classes (especially AP) unless there’s a schedule conflict.</p>

<p>The max at my school is 42 and I’m pretty sure all of my classes are at the max… and I’m in all APs/Honors. There aren’t even enough seats for everyone in my AP Physics class and we don’t have nearly enough lab equipment. It’s ridiculous. The smallest class I’ve ever had was Honors Biology freshman year (about 25 kids) because all 9 Honors Bio classes were completely full so they had to open up a 10th, which I was switched into. The small class size made such a huge difference, it was awesome. I dream of having classes with like 10 kids like you guys…</p>

<p>32 is legal max. Some are close, most are in mid to high twenties.</p>

<p>We had 40+ kids in my honors bio class last year. My smallest class was theatre 2, also this year. It had 12 kids, due to lack of interest.</p>

<p>My smallest class is regular history where there’s only 10 of us, but everyone takes regular history freshman year. My largest class would be band with 50+ kids.</p>

<p>My smallest class is 2 (AP Chem) my largest is physics with like 11</p>

<p>9th grade…34 in gym/pool was highest, lowest I think was digital photography but i don’t remember how much…I think 25. most of classes in my school are about 30.</p>

<p>God I havent even though of that. Well I know that in 1st-3rd grade we had like 20 kids but that number steadily went up. My English Honors class had like low 40’s. On average we have mid 30’s I think. The lowest class I’ve heard of was Calc BC. There were 4 last year and I think there’s only 1 this year.</p>

<p>Max at about 30, the smallest I’ve been in is about 15. Not counting band classes, because those don’t even take place in a normal classroom.</p>

<p>We max out at around 30, though the average class size is supposedly 23. All my classes this year have 24-30, except for band, which has ~15 (I never stopped to count).</p>

<p>Max is probably the Band/Orchestra classes (usually 50 or more.) Biggest orchestra class I’ve been in had 51. Average class size is probably around 27 or so. Smallest class I’ve been in was French 4; we had 21.</p>

<p>Our school (maybe school district) is being really strict about classes with less than 20 people, so a lot of classes end up being combined (like French 5 and AP French).</p>

<p>Legal max is 30. My school doesn’t bother with classes less than 22 people. If there are only 21 people signed up for a course, the course gets cancelled. A lot of courses end up being cancelled, especially APs.</p>

<p>I have 68 kids in my gym class…but its gym, so… :stuck_out_tongue:
But theres only 21 in my pre-calc class.</p>

<p>The biggest I’ve had was 37 for Honors World History. The smallest was 19 for AP US Government, but that grew to 23. There’s a lot of people at my school :P</p>

<p>So now its just me left in my AP Chem class! The few, the proud, the insane.</p>

<p>The biggest class I’ve had was my Geometry class freshman year, with about 31. We had to go borrow chairs from the next classroom over almost every day. My ASL class sophomore year was pretty close to that.
As far as the least, it was my World History class second semester of 10th grade. I think there were fewer than 20 kids. One day there was a standardized test that most kids were gone for which left about 6 of us. It was a blast!</p>
