Yes, small class size, project based instruction, mastery learning, academic assistance and individual learning plans for every student, authentic assessment,... all have a better chance to improve learning outcomes in a small school with "like minded" teachers. The larger an oranganization becomes, the harder it is to create a sense of belonging for students, teachers and parents. Common planning time is also essential for the teachers to improve their practice (hopefully with a critical friend or guide on the side). The relationships among the adults in a school will have more to do with student success than any other factor.
