Not sure if it has been touched upon, but if the Student to teacher ratio is 25:1, then no class will have under 30 students and most classes will have around 35*. That ratio counts all teachers, including administrators and teachers of smaller classes. Just because you had 35 kids in your class, doesn't mean the ration was 35, in fact I would bet it was below 25.
*I am not 100% sure of the numbers, but the point is still relevant.
