Students Achieve More in Smaller Classes.
Achilles, Charles M.
Educational Leadership, v53 n5 p76-77 Feb 1996
Tennessee's Project STAR (Student Teacher Achievement Ratio) randomly assigned 7,000 K-3 students to small classes (13-17 pupils), regular classes (22-26 pupils), and regular-with-aide classes. Small classes ameliorate large schools' effects, reduce grade retention and discipline problems, benefit minority students substantially, allow students more individual attention, are friendlier, and encourage more active student participation.
