Why are we so committed to small class size?

Research supports the lasting benefits of small class size for children in the primary grades. Although many classrooms have added aides in an attempt to improve student performance by decreasing student/teacher ratios, it is the overall class size that makes the difference.

We offer small class sizes of 12 or less students in Kindergarten, 16 or less for 1st-6th grade. And our preschool classes are even smaller(12 or less).

The National Education Association supports supports smaller class sizes because they lead to higher student achievement levels....click here to read article.
