Del Mar Middle School expects to drop slightly from 341 to 344 students (data appears incomplete).

This shows how many teachers and specialists will be assigned to each grade level next year. Class sizes are projected to range from 16-22 students per teacher in elementary grades.

Staffing levels appear relatively stable despite slight enrollment decreases.
