I know this question has been answered already, but to give a bit more detail, yes. Every year, the principal has to reconcile funding with staffing, and funding is based on student enrollment projections determined by head office. Every spring, Principals have to determine how many staff to hire for the following school year based on staff to student ratio, as well as account for extra funding for specialized programs, such as EAL’s, international students, GATE, etc.
Based on that information, it would be pretty easy for an administrator to tell you classroom sizes. But since reporting in this particular point was ended by the UCP, we can only rely on anecdotes.
