Elementary School Staffing

Elementary schools are staffed based on a combination of the student-teacher ratio established by the School Board during the budget process, the specific needs of schools

(e.g., Accredited with Warning, elevated ELL enrollment, etc.), and enrollment capacity at each grade level.

1 Students who receive special education services are included when appropriate, based on their IEP. If additional Kindergarten seats are available other Kindergarten students may attend.

2 Grade level maximum (GLM) for grades 1-3 is defined as all classes at a grade level within a school reaching the maximum class size without adding a Teacher Assistant. Maximum class size is specified in School Board Policy §5-13 under the heading of “Class Size.” §5-13(B) Grades 1-3: No class in grades 1-3 shall exceed 28 pupils unless a full-time instructional aide is assigned to that class. No class with an aide shall exceed 30 pupils.

If there is not space to create enough classes at grades 1-3 so that no class has more than 28 students, then additional students will be overflowed to the next closest school with capacity to accept them. If overflow is not an option for geographic reasons, then a Teacher Assistant is assigned as long as class size does not exceed 30.

Middle School Staffing

The number of general education teachers assigned to a middle school is based on four variables:

The number of students enrolled in the school;

The number of classes a middle school student may take (seven);

The target average class size (22.5); and

The number of classes taught by a teacher (six). The formula used is: (number of students) multiplied by (7) divided by (22.5), and divided by (6) = number of teachers allocated to a school. As students transition from elementary school to middle school, the interdisciplinary team provides a “school within a school” structure within the grade level houses. A team of teachers in the four core content areas work with a team of approximately 140 students.

High School Staffing

The number of general education teachers assigned to a high school is based on four variables:


The number of classes a high school student may take (seven);


The number of classes taught by a teacher (five).

The formula used is: (number of students) multiplied by (7) divided by (26.8) and divided by (5) = number of teachers allocated to a school. As students transition from elementary school to middle school, the interdisciplinary team provides a “school within a school” structure within the grade level houses. A team of teachers in the four core content areas work with a team of approximately 140 students.

6 In 2014-15 Dominion (2.0), Loudoun County (2.0), Broad Run (5.0), and Park View (8.0) had additional staffing. In 2015-16, this staffing was reduce by approximately 50 percent. This is a “step-down” approach to ensure that the impact of the reduction is spread over a two-year period. The goal is to allocate Special Programs staffing yearly, by need.

Elementary School Staffing

Elementary schools are staffed based on a combination of the student-teacher ratio established by the School Board during the budget process, the specific needs of schools

(e.g., Accredited with Warning, elevated ELL enrollment, etc.), and enrollment capacity at each grade level.

Gifted Education SEARCH Teacher

FUTURA Teacher

SEARCH Teachers are in 2-3 schools per week, except when schools generate a high number of referrals

This is a “pull out” program in which FUTURA students are transported to regional “centers” one day per week

Presently, the ratio is 1:22, however, elementary FUTURA Teachers also serve students who are not identified as gifted.


3 Proximity of the schools is also a factor when determining combinations of two, half-time principalships. The following schools will share a 1.0 Principal for the 2015-2016 school year: Aldie and Banneker (290 – Combined total enrollment); Hillsboro and Lincoln (213 – Combined total enrollment). The following schools have enrollments below 300 students and are staffed with a 1.0 Principal: Hamilton (170), Lucketts (293), Waterford (162). The combined total of Hamilton and Waterford (332 students), exceeds the threshold of 300 students.

Middle School Staffing

The number of general education teachers assigned to a middle school is based on four variables:


The number of classes a middle school student may take (seven);


The number of classes taught by a teacher (six). The formula used is: (number of students) multiplied by (7) divided by (22.5), and divided by (6) = number of teachers allocated to a school. As students transition from elementary school to middle school, the interdisciplinary team provides a “school within a school” structure within the grade level houses. A team of teachers in the four core content areas work with a team of approximately 140 students.

High School Staffing

The number of general education teachers assigned to a high school is based on four variables:


The number of classes a high school student may take (seven);


The number of classes taught by a teacher (five). The formula used is: (number of students) multiplied by (7) divided by (26.8) and divided by (5) = number of teachers allocated to a school. As students transition from elementary school to middle school, the interdisciplinary team provides a “school within a school” structure within the grade level houses. A team of teachers in the four core content areas work with a team of approximately 140 students.

6 In 2014-15 Dominion (2.0), Loudoun County (2.0), Broad Run (5.0), and Park View (8.0) had additional staffing. In 2015-16, this staffing was reduce by approximately 50 percent. This is a “step-down” approach to ensure that the impact of the reduction is spread over a two-year period. The goal is to allocate Special Programs staffing yearly, by need.
