• W277989036 abstract "Abstract Research in education is increasingly reporting benefits for students attending small schools. However, there is general agreement that curriculum development is a concern for these schools. This paper describes a successful concurrent program between a small high school in Texas and a nearby community college. An interesting development is occurring in America's high schools today. In 1959, James Conant argued that small high schools were not cost effective and could not offer a sufficient broad and varied curriculum with enough diversity of course offerings. He recommended that graduating classes of at least 100 students were optimal and that elimination of small schools was necessary for educational improvement. Today, America's high schools frequently number in the thousands of students. Interestingly, these large schools are actually searching for ways to make their schools feel smaller and are restructuring to accomplish this (George & McEwin, 1999). As the United States moves into the new millennium, increasingly, research is reporting benefits for students attending small schools. For example, data are revealing that high school students in small schools are more likely than their large school counterparts to pass major subjects and disadvantaged students in small schools are significantly outperforming large school students on standardized tests (Fowler, 1995, Heck & Mayor, 1993). Size appears to have more influence on student achievement than any other factor which educators can control. The larger the school, the lower the student scores in reading and arithmetic; in fact, national studies confirm that children learn more in math, reading, history, and science in small schools than in large schools. This trend especially holds true for children termed at-risk or disadvantaged (Lee & Smith, 1994). In addition to student achievement effects, other studies document that small schools are much less prone to violence and that students generally are better behaved (Toby, 1993/1994, Gottfredson, 1985). Raywid (1998) reports that smallness encourages strong student-school bonds which enable schools to have a greater effect on children's personal habits, such as smoking and drug use. This influence even extends to post high school behavior, such as attending college. Systemically, the commitment and support of the board of trustees, administration, faculty, students, and parents that must be generated for quality curriculum development and implementation appears to be accomplished more smoothly in small communities. The absence of bureaucratic barriers in small schools allows for flexibility and quicker decision making (Raywid, 1998). Despite the increasingly recognized positive aspects of small schools, curriculum development continues to create a concern for these schools. Small rural schools do face unique challenges and may have difficulty offering advanced academic or vocational courses (Small, Rural Schools Education Initiative, 1999). But, Haller, Monk, Spotted Bear, Griffith, and Moss (1990) found that high schools with as few as 100 to 200 students may offer the core curricular areas, such as mathematics and science comparable to large high schools of 1,200 to 1,600 students. They also pointed out that large size is not a guarantee that advanced courses are offered, or that significant numbers of students are enrolled in the advanced courses. In a recent report of more than 100 research studies on school size and different aspects of schooling, Cotton (1996) found that a 100% increase in student enrollment yielded only a 17% increase in courses offered. This report also noted that only 5% to 12% of students in larger schools take the extra courses that these schools typically offer. The fact that more courses are being offered does not mean that a large percentage of students are taking advantage of them. Additionally, small school educators are meeting the challenge of providing a more diverse curriculum in a variety of ways. …" @default.
