Class Size Research
Small classes may yield benefits but only in certain contexts and settings. −Greatest benefits were shown for students from low-income
families; students in poverty; and students in inner-city schools.
−Greatest impact is when class size is 15 or less.
Class size in public education settings matter less than teacher quality and instructional methods.
Compared to U.S. schools, East Asian countries with high performance levels have very large class sizes.
Research does not support class size as a broad solution for increasing student achievement.
