Teachers:How many students do you have in your class?

I am a teacher in a more urban district and our class sizes are very large. I am interested to hear about your class. What grade you teach and how many students you have? Thanks!

Update:

Wow! I teach in an elem/middle school and the elementary grades have 30-32 students and middle school has 30-40!

    I teach in a suburban school district in a relatively well-off area. (Though we have finally been reached by the financial crisis...)

    I teach 3rd grade currently -

    First year - 24

    Second year - 23

    Third year - 23

    Fourth year - 22

    Fifth year - 23

    I believe they cap K/1 @ 22, 2/3 @ 24, 4/5 @ 26 - however, these caps are just in place for the start of the year. Usually by November there are some overages.

    In most CA school districts, the cap is 20 on grades 1-3 and then goes up to 34 so most 4th & 5th grade classes have 30-34 students and middle school has up to 38 per class.

    My first district allowed up to 32 in Kinder and the WORST days subbing I ever had were trying to deal with 32 five year olds all by myself with no aids or help, far worse than middle school!

    I'm a first grade teacher in an inner-city school. Through the year, my class is capped at 22 students. In May, however, the cap is lifted and the numbers can increase. I don't think I've had more than 24 students on my roster at one time.

    I must add that, while these numbers may seem small to some, my classroom can really only hold about 22 students. It's a bit cramped. :(

    I teach high school physics... my smallest class last year had 7 students, and my largest had 26. Hopefully, this year I won't have any more than about 20 to a class since an additional science teacher was hired for this year.

    12 kids in my class. I taught special ed grades 4-5 with learning disabilities.

    This year also 12 kids, same type of class but at a lower grade level.

    I teach in an urban district in NY.
