Abstract

This article out lines the impact of reducing class size on student achievement. Following a brief discussion of Lazear's theory of classroom production, the experimental and quasi-experimental evidence on class-size reduction are reviewed. In sum, among the studies with the most credible identification strategies, most find that reducing class size improves student outcomes.
