Elementary School Student Capacity: What Size Is the Right Size?

Stevenson, Kenneth R.

Educational Facility Planner, v33 n4 p10-14 1996

For the past 10 years the South Carolina Department of Education annually has rewarded the top 20% of its public elementary schools. Identifies a positive relationship between larger schools and sustained academic achievement, although the impact of size was relatively small. Smaller schools tended to be serving students in lower socioeconomic categories. (MLF)
