Class size is an
education term. There are two general uses of it.
In American
high schools and higher, it is generally used to talk about the amount of
students in a grade. Many larger high schools have class sizes around 400 students. Most American
colleges and
universities have class sizes between 800 and 10000 students.
In
elementary schools and in all
schools in
England, class size refers to the amount of
pupils in a single class. Recently, schools have tried to make efforts to keep class sizes down under 25 students.
