55 kids in a class? Typical at some Oregon online schools

by Betsy Hammond, The Oregonian/OregonLive

Classes at Oregon’s two huge online public schools, Oregon Connections Academy and Oregon Virtual Academy, routinely include 55 students or more, the state reported Thursday. No brick-and-mortar schools packed that many students into any math, English or science class last year, and few if any had a core course with 45 students, the state report and check-ins with principals indicate. The new data constituted Oregon’s most detailed look ever at how class sizes vary statewide. They make it possible to see which schools have not merely above average classroom rosters, but the very biggest in the state.
