Class Size

Because we believe our students do best when they get more individual attention and feedback in their work, we advocate for smaller class sizes.  In addition, students get to work with others while getting more individual attention from the teacher.  The teacher is then able to spend more time teaching than managing.  Here are some great resources about the importance and value of smaller class sizes.

Class Size Matters is a non-profit organization that advocates for class size reduction in NYC’s public schools and the nation as a whole.  The New York Times has called us the “city’s leading proponent of smaller classes.”  We provide information on the benefits of class size reduction to parents, teachers, and concerned citizens, as well as monitor class sizes in New York City.
