MSDE: Final School Size Study Report : Impact of Smaller Schools
...The research team has suggested enrollment limits based
on the points at which schools in Maryland start becoming both less cost
efficient and less productive. These enrollment limits are set at 700
students for elementary schools, 900 students for middle schools, and
1,700 students for high schools. The study team does not recommend that
schools in Maryland should be this large, but no newly constructed
schools should be allowed to exceed these limits.
The second recommendation suggests that the State should develop a
small schools incentive grant program. Such a program would provide
financial incentives and support for replacing the State’s largest,
low-performing schools or for renovating existing large school
buildings. Based on the research team’s set of assumptions, up to 74
schools would be eligible for this type of grant. The estimated costs
vary, but will ultimately be controlled by the fiscal decisions of state
policy makers...
