This study and accompanying website provide additional evidence that good small schools can be more affordable and successful even when compared to larger schools in the same district. It offers analysis of data from over 3000 school construction projects, and practical strategies for cost-effectiveness that have been field-tested by small schools. The website allows online viewing and searching of all content of the report. It also provides profiles of successful small schools, and supporting documents such as test scores, budget information, site and floor plans, photos of each school, and other relevant resources.
