One typically hears of a little red school house and we had one here until a few years ago when it was finally torn down..it sat for decades on a little patch in the woods next to a major highway.. And frankly, those little schools did a better job of educating kids through 8th grade and they were socialized in a better way. No gangs. Not enough kids to develop cliques. Maybe the smaller schools are, the better and safer. You won't find evidence to support that except anecdotal evidence....eg, the smartest kid in my college class came from a high school where he graduated with just 12 other students (he was first in his class, of course) My grandsons graduated from a high school of about 3500 students (10-12th grades) and send grads to the finest colleges in the country, have athletes that made the pros, theater people, artists, musicians. In fact, the conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra is a grad from there...The facilities at that school are unrivaled. On the other hand two friends I have a monthly lunch with home schooled their kids and all are successful, most now with PhD's....
