Statistics reveal that small class sizes are vital to a child’s education. Small class sizes lead to the following:
- Students in small classes are more likely to pursue college.
- Students in small classes lead to higher graduation rates.
- Students in small classes achieve at higher levels.
- Students who attended small classes in grades K-3 were between 6 and 13 months ahead of their regular-sized class peers in math, reading, and science in each of grades 4, 6, and 8.
- The studies show some support for the hypothesis that smaller classes are related to higher achievement in reading and mathematics, particularly if the students are socially or economically disadvantaged or remain in small classes for at least two years.
