Abstract | Of a review of 112 studies on class size, only 23 found a statistically significant relationship between class size and student achievement and only fourteen of these exhibited a negative relation; the other nine studies showed that as a class size increased, students performed better on tests, not worse... This paper contributes to the debate on class size by analyzing pupil-specific public school data unavailable in previous studies and by applying econometric methods that account for non-random allocation of students to different class sizes. By using better data and improved statistical techniques, this paper shows that there are returns to investing in smaller classes for certain students and it provides some evidence on why the past literature has produced such inconsistent findings.
