Extracurricular Participation, School Size, and Achievement and Self-Esteem among High School Students: A National Look.
Coladarci, Theodore; Cobb, Casey D.
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v12 n2 p92-103 Fall 1996
Analysis of National Education Longitudinal Study data found that students attending small high schools (less than 800 students) had higher extracurricular participation than students attending large high schools (more than 1600 students). Participation was significantly related to 12th-grade self-esteem but not to academic achievement. However, school size had no indirect effect on either outcome. Contains 29 references. (SV)
