Middle School
Are K-8 schools better for learning than middle schools?
average, 7 percentiles lower on standardized math exams than
students who attend K-8 schools. The study attributed the gap to
the students' transition from elementary to middle schools and a
larger number of students in each grade. "What we found bolsters
the case for middle-school reform," a co-author of the study said.
