Kerry, just to be clear, Vanderlyn does NOT have a 12 to 1 student/teacher ratio. My daughter has 28 kids in her first grade class.  There is no assistant due to budget cuts.  The entire school has pretty much the same class sizes.  I would hate to be a home buyer and be misled.

Thanks

Richard, thank you so much for the insight!  One of the school rating websites stated that Vanderlyn Elementary school's average ratio in 2010 was 12 to 1, but that did seem low to me.  I'll be sure to update the information and hope your daughter is enjoying her first year of school!
