Since there are three times as many Spanish classes as French classes, we can assume there are 3x French classes as well.
Let x represent the number of French classes.
Therefore, the number of Spanish classes is 3x.
The total number of English elective classes is x + 3x = 4x.
Since there are 850 students, each class contains an average of 850/4x = 212.5 students.
The number of students who can choose Spanish is 3x * 212.5 = 637.5x.
Since the number of students must be a whole number, we can round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the number of students who can choose Spanish is 637 students. Answer: \boxed{637}.
