Abstract

This article summarizes the literature on the impact of class size on student achievement. Following a brief discussion of the theory linking class size to student outcomes, I review the experimental and quasi-experimental evidence on the impact of class size. Research using a variety of approaches across a variety of settings indicates that class size is an important factor in student outcomes.
