American teachers: How many students are in your class, and what state do you teach in?

I’m in Alabama teaching self-contained 5th grade gen ed. I had a student join my class yesterday. That makes 27 in my class. They won’t add a new teacher to our team until every teacher has over 30. The new student said “This class is huge. At my old school in New Hampshire, we only had 13 in my class.” I stood there for a second thinking “damn, I’m getting scammed” lol. Tagged as humor just because class sizes are getting so large that it’s almost comical.
