class sizes
Pupils per teacher
Class sizes refers to the number of students assigned to a single teacher or classroom.
The term appears most often in educational policy debates, where smaller class sizes are generally considered better for learning: The school board voted to reduce class sizes.
Research on class size effects remains contested, but parents and teachers often advocate for lower numbers.
