Shin, Yongyun; Raudenbush, Stephen W. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2011
This article addresses three questions: Does reduced class size cause higher academic achievement in reading, mathematics, listening, and word recognition skills? If it does, how large are these effects? Does the magnitude of such effects vary significantly across schools? The authors analyze data from Tennessee's Student/Teacher Achievement Ratio…
