The impact has been extensively studied:
- A 2021 Canadian review of international research concluded: "In general, research suggests that students in classes in the early grades benefit greatly from enrollment in classes with fewer than 20 students... Teachers in smaller classes report greater engagement with learning activities and better relations with students and parents, as well as spending less time on administrative and disciplinary processes."
- A 2018 California study (the largest in U.S. history since the late 1990's) found that smaller class sizes in public schools reduced private school attendance... which in turn, benefited the quality and funding of public education.
