Class Size Alone Not Enough To Close Academic Achievement Gap
Science Daily

A Northwestern University study investigating the effects of class size on the achievement gap between high and low academic achievers suggests that high achievers benefit more from small classes than low achievers, especially at the kindergarten and first grade levels.
Interesting study that expands on the 1985 Project STAR study. I want to look more closely at this to see if it might influence our decisions about how to better use our existing resources. We have intentionally kept K-1 class sizes low believing it would help low achievers. We need to look closely at our own data.
