Enrollment and Class Size Update

Class size has been a priority in the Washougal School District (WSD) for some time. The Washougal Association of Educators (WAE) and WSD Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) sets goals for class sizes. If the number of students in a class exceeds the contract goals, there are remedies such as, additional compensation or support by a para-professional.

In the tables below, you will find a comparison between the goal numbers outlined in the contract and the current average number of students per elementary classroom for the 2016-17 school year (Table 1). You can also see the elementary classroom numbers on a class-by-class and school-by-school basis in Table 2.  In the final table (Table 3), you will find the average class sizes for grades 6 – 8 and 9 – 12.
