[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maintaining an elementary school for just 168 kids is part of the problem. If they closed these underenrolled schools and had even enrollment numbers across elementary schools, then each school could have a librarian, a stocked library, etc. It is a huge waste of money to have an elementary school with less than 400 students. [/quote] I get that there are economic benefits to larger schools, but there are also trade offs. Google Dunbar's number -- in a smaller school, everyone can know everyone else, which creates a more supportive elementary environment, reduces disciplinary issues, etc.[/quote]
