Which expression is more commmon? Do they mean the same thing?

1I'm in the US, and I would say "after classes" would be rare and "after class" more common. But maybe elsewhere the preference is the other way.– GEdgarCommented Aug 21, 2017 at 12:46

In the UK, a teacher would say "see me after class", for when the lesson had ended. I would understand "see me after classes" as being the end of the school day, but as GEdgar says, it's not common. I can't think of a common expression that uses "after classes.– JonLarbyCommented Aug 21, 2017 at 13:04

When you say "after class", this means after a particular lecture/period, and when its "after classes" this means after the school is over or when all classes are over.
