Not arguing your question about where the money goes, but where do you get the average of 25 students per class?

Both my wife and cousin are high school math teachers and they both have an average 40 students per class. At the beginning of the year, my cousin had 47 students enrolled in one his classes. From talking to them, it sounds like enrollment in public high schools is skyrocketing
