SMALL SCHOOLS IN TEXAS
I now understand the Texas Education Miracle. They have the smallest class size in the nation. Secretay Paige confirmed this in a quote reported in the NYT.
“I wouldn’t doubt that in a system as large as Houston, where you have 300 schools and 13,000 students that you’re going to have some problems.”
That works out to 43 students per school. The correct figures according to the HISD website are 286 schools and 210,670 students.
