摘要：In this study, we analyzed six years of statewide data regarding the relationship between school district size and Hispanic student performance on the state-‐mandated assessment in reading, math, writing, science, and social studies in Texas. Hispanic students in our study who were enrolled in large-‐size school districts (i.e., more than 10,000 students) had statistically significant higher assessment scores in all five subjects than Hispanic students who were enrolled in either moderate-‐size (i.e., 1,600 to 9,999 students) school districts or in small-‐size (i.e., 100 to 1,599 students) school districts. Small to moderate effect sizes were documented in this study. Interestingly, the effect sizes for the statistically significant differences became increasingly larger over time. Implications not only for practice, but also for policy and for future research are provided.
