At VCS, we understand the profound impact that class size can have on students' educational experiences, particularly in the primary grades. That's why we are committed to maintaining small class sizes that foster a more personalized and engaging learning environment. With smaller classes, our dedicated teachers can provide individualized attention, tailoring their instruction to meet the unique needs of each student. We intentionally prioritize maintaining small class sizes for our youngest students to ensure that each young learner receives the individualized attention necessary for building strong foundations in reading achievement and social-emotional growth.

Average Class Size:

• PK - 1st Grade: 12
• 2nd - 5th Grade: 18
• 6th - 8th Grade: 20
• 9th - 12th Grade: 16

Join our district, where small class sizes make a big difference in the educational journey of every student.
