• Why it matters

  While some researchers have looked to uncover the "ideal" school size, these studies often generalize student preferences and behaviours. Your real goal is to find what best suits your child’s needs. Smaller schools can offer a school-wide sense of connection, while larger schools often provide broader programming and opportunities. Also, note that per-grade enrollment often tells a more meaningful story than total enrollment alone (read topic guide).

This makes Durham Elementary, Durham Academy and G.B.M.S. (GBMS & DEPS) like 91% of other schools we cover.
