Can someone out there explain why there are fifth grade classes at Trinity with 29 students? 29 students!! This year there are only six 5th grade teachers, due to a rearrangement of staff for full day kindergarten. Last year there were seven 5th grade classes. The 2 CILA classes have only 18.
On the school matters website, for Trinity, it says 14.6 students per class, on average: http://www.schoolmatters.com/schools.aspx/q/page=dl/did=12664/midx=CPClassSize
On the NY state website, it lists the average Trinity class size at 21: https://www.nystart.gov/publicweb-rc/2007/17/AOR-2007-661100010008.pdf
This website puts Trinity’s avg. class size at 15.2:

What is the district contract? Can anyone provide a snippet? What gives here? This school just feels overcrowded. Can anyone reply with other elementaries in the district with classes this size?

If you add the 2 websites (14.6 + 15.2 ) you come up with right about 29 . Right ? All kidding aside , they probably include self contained classes (typically 5-10 per class) which would skew the actual results . It’s a shame the staff and teachers are left holding the bag while the district dumps on them . The district has made it clear that no one must ever speak out about this or any other issue . I suggest to anyone to drive by there in the morning or at 3 o’clock and figure how they get all those kids to fit into that little school . Don’t worry , all the new development will add 100 more kids to the school and then you’ll long for the days when there were “only” 29 kids .
