School System Size and Performance: A Contingency Perspective.

Friedkin, Noah E.; Necochea, Juan

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v10 n3 p237-49 Fall 1988

Data for third, sixth, eighth, and twelfth graders from the 1983-84 California Assessment Program are presented to support a new theory on the relationship between the size and performance of school systems. Size appears to be related to the socioeconomic status and performance of schools and school districts. (TJH)
