I've asked several of my teachers this also, we have any where from 22 to 34 students per class. It's ridiculous! The way I have come to understand it, not sure if it's totally correct though, is that the class size depends on how many kids are signed up for that kind of class, like English for example, in relation to how many teachers are available to teach the class. Our art classes are moderate at about 24 per class ... and we have I think four art teachers. English and math classes here are insane, on the higher end of the spectrum yet we have bounds of teachers in those departments. If I am wrong, sorry, but that's how I've put together the information from my teachers when I asked about it.
Teaching guidelines are set up by the departments, approved by the principal and the super. Basically ... a department comes up with a rough curriculum about what sections to teach and semester finals that all must give. Then these plans go to the principal and the school board for approval. Hope I helped you out some!

Every school has a curriculum director....they make bottom line decisions on standards. Most states have some class size parameters but the superintendent sets their own district guidelines. Most schools allow some classroom flexibilty for the teachers as well. For special units, etc. Basically I see the biggest differences from state to state. However if you are talking 'private' or 'CORE' school you can toss all this out the window!

It depends on state, national, and local guidelines, and how many teachers the school can afford. For instance, here in CA grades K-3 are limited to no more than 20 students. On the other hand, I had science classes in high school with close to 40 students, and not enough desks for everyone.
The guidelines of what to teach are based on state and national standards. As my high school chem teacher told me, she had trouble handling both sets of guidelines, as the state wanted students to learn very specific facts, while the nation wanted the students to understand overall concepts.

Board of education. Sadly, if 1,000 new people move into a school district the school has to accept them all and will most likely be overcrowded and have to have new teachers and mobile classrooms.
