My classroom is at a latitude of approximately 27.947 degrees North. How many days per year is the sun directly above the classroom?

Never. The Sun can only be directly overhead (90 deg altitude) at latitudes between 23.5 deg N and 23.5 deg S. The Sun is directly overhead at a latitude of 23.5 deg N on the summer solstice. On that day it would be at its highest point in the sky for an observer at 27.947 deg N (about 85.553 deg above S horizon), but it would not be directly overhead.
