Smaller Districts

"Generally, it appears that the smaller the district, the higher the achievement when the socioeconomic status and per student expenditures are taken into account. Why? Superintendent and central staff awareness of citizen and parent preferences, the absence of bureaucratic layers and administrative complexity, teacher involvement in decision making, and close home/school relations."

- From 'School and School District Size Relationships: Costs, Results, Minorities, and Private School Enrollments', by Robert W. Jewell, University of Chicago.
