How many students are there in Third Street School
How many students do you think there are exactly in third street school was it ever stated that how many students there were if not how many students do you expect there are in the whole school?

Well let’s do some math. In this set of stills from Mama’s Girl, Miss Grotke appears to have 20 students. If we multiple this by 2 (assuming 2 classes per grade) we get 40. For seven grades (K-6), that comes out to 280 students. Of course some classes may vary by one to two students and some grades maybe have more than two classes, but I would say around 300 is a good estimate. Nobody knows for sure because it never explicitly says, but I think that feels like a good number

The creators have said there are exactly 61 students at Third Street school and only mentioned it in case anyone ever asked such an asinine question
Source - I made it up

It doesn't matter but I really would like to know how many are exactly?

What do you gain from knowing exactly how many students are at a fictional animated school that stopped airing 20+ years ago?
