What I've seen over 40 years would make me believe that school size is a factor as it relates to student performance, but not a major one.<br />My work these days is supporting small bush schools where there are kids with major disabilities enrolled. "Small" means many of them have enrolments less than 50, and some as tiny as 10 - 15.<br />My observation is that providing that the teacher/s is/are half competent, these are fantastic environments for learning. These schools turn out resilient, independent, resourceful kids. They're great places for kids with disabilities.<br />The ERIC digest has something to say on this - http://www.ericdigests.org/2001-3/size.htm<br />The studies are American, but findings probably hold here.<br />PQ, I tried to link this with Vietnam and Conscription, but failed.
