Middle grades configurations and small schools.(Report)
Abstract
A literature debate currently exists as to whether early adolescents should be schooled in K-8 configurations or whether they should attend middle schools. The issue is especially important for smaller school districts housed on a single campus. The authors discuss the views of the two sides in this paper and suggest a third, less contentious alternative that melds the best of both worlds: small, truly K-12 schools in which the concepts previously promulgated only by middle school advocates are in effect for the benefit of all students.
