Re: Report on Class Size
This report includes class size numbers as of February 1, 2023. We have identified those sections in the
current year’s master schedule of courses that meet any one of the following criteria:
● Fewer than 13 students are enrolled; or
● More than 24 students are enrolled; or
● The course was canceled due to lack of student interest; or
● There was sufficient student interest, but there were not enough teachers to teach the sections.
● Sections with Fewer than 13 Students Enrolled. There are 62 total sections with fewer than 13
students enrolled. There are 14 first semester sections, 18 second semester sections, and 35 full year
sections with enrollments less than 13. The specifics of these sections are listed in Table A.
● Sections with More than 24 Students Enrolled. There are 38 sections with enrollments greater than
24. The specifics of these sections are listed in Table B.
● Courses Canceled/Not Scheduled Due to Lack of Student Interest and Enrollment. 21 courses were
not scheduled due to lack of interest/enrollment. A list of these courses is shown in Table C.
● Courses Not Scheduled Due to an Insufficient Number of Teachers. We had a resignation in our FCS
department at the end of the summer. We were not able to run our Academy Cafe and Apparel &
Furnishings courses. These two courses are listed in Table D. Two other courses scheduled for the
resigned teacher were reassigned to existing FCS faculty, who taught extra to meet student needs.
