Class Size and Student Performance: A Framework for Policy Analysis.
Addonizio, Michael F.; Phelps, James L.
Journal of Education Finance, v26 n2 p135-56 Fall 2000
A survey of one national and three statewide studies (in Tennessee, Texas, and Alabama) of class-size achievement effects revealed no consistent pattern across various subjects and grade levels. However, smaller classes can improve student achievement, particularly in early grades and when teacher quality remains constant. (Contains 36 footnotes.) (MLH)
