„Reviews of research about school size have consistently found that students benefit when they are in smaller settings where they can be well known, and these effects are strongest for students with the greatest economic and academic needs. These settings include smaller schools as well as small learning communities created within large school buildings, where staff and students work together in smaller units that function as close-knit communities.“
