What this document actually says

This presentation provides enrollment projections and student-to-staff ratios for Reed Union School District's three schools for the 2024-25 school year, presented on February 11, 2025. The document shows current and projected enrollment numbers along with historical student-teacher ratio comparisons for each campus: Reed Elementary, Bel Aire Elementary, and Del Mar Middle School. A key finding across all three schools is that student-teacher ratios are projected to decrease in fiscal year 2025-26. The presentation includes specific ratio data, with Reed at 18.65 students per teacher and Bel Aire at 20.8 students per teacher, though exact numbers for future projections are not visible in the provided text.

What this means for your family

Smaller class sizes are coming. The district projects lower student-teacher ratios next year across all three schools, which typically means more individualized attention for students. Parents should expect potentially smaller classes in 2025-26. These projections help the district plan staffing decisions that directly affect classroom sizes and the student learning experience at Reed, Bel Aire, and Del Mar.
