Rubenstein, Ross; Schwartz, Amy Ellen; Stiefel, Leanna; Zabel, Jeffrey – Education Finance and Policy, 2009
Reorganizing primary school grade spans is a tractable and relatively inexpensive school reform. However, assessing the effects of reorganization requires also examining other organizational changes that may accompany grade span reforms.

Stiefel, Leanna; Berne, Robert; Iatarola, Patrice; Fruchter, Norm – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2000
Combines budget and performance information to study the effects of high school size. Suggests that since small high schools are more effective for minority and poor students, and the budget per student is found to be similar for small and large schools, policymakers might support the creation of more small high schools.
