Environment

A Milwaukee study showed that K-8 schools had higher academic achievement, especially in math.  Students had greater leadership skills and were less likely to be bullied.  A Baltimore study (2001) showed that students had higher standardized scores in reading, language arts and math.  A Philadelphia (2001) study showed that as student numbers increased in a class, performance gains decreased.
