Our entire school is multi grade . The splits are 1/2 , 3/4 and 5/6. DD is currently in fourth grade. I really liked the split for 1st and 3rd grades. I did NOT like it for 2nd grade. They pull the kids by grade level. Ds is in second grade. They split the kids for shared reading and math by grade level.
The advantage of multi grade (at least here) is the teacher loops with the kids (this did not happen for either child in 2nd grade but did happen for dd in 4th). Ds , while in first grade, was grouped with the highest2nd grade group for guided reading. He was also pulled for gifted with the 2nd graders.
Disadvatage: He had to suffer through 1st grade Every Day math and this year 2nd grade math. We aren't sure what they will do for him in guided reading this year either.
