Forest Hills High School Has Most Overcrowded Classrooms, Report Says
(DNAINFO) Ewa Kern-Jedrychowska | October 22, 2015 — Forest Hills High School topped the list of New York City’s public schools with the most overcrowding, even as the number of oversized classes in the city continues to decline, according to a new report released by the United Federation of Teachers earlier this week.
Overall, New York City’s public schools had 5,485 overcrowded classes at the beginning of this school year, compared to 6,447 last year, according to the report which is based on school registers as of Sept. 18. The drop means that this year about 33,000 fewer students than last year will study in oversized classrooms.
