Nye, Barbara; Hedges, Larry V.; Konstantopoulos, Spyros
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v21 n2 p127-42 Sum 1999
Analyzed data from a five-year followup of students in Tennessee's Student/Teacher Achievement Ratio (STAR) project, a four-year large-scale randomized examination of the effects of class size on academic achievement. Results suggest that class-size benefits persist for at least five years and remain large enough to be important to educational policy. (SLD)
