When I had a boy in it 9 years ago there were 2 full classes (maybe 50 kids) now it's down to 15. I think it was a good idea at the time, but now probably not. Kids in 6th grade are eager for a different classroom structure as well as extracurricular activities such as band and sports teams. I don't think the other 2 districts had 6th grade at a K-5 school at all. - Larry K. Wed, 30 Apr 2008 12:22:12 +0100
