Bronco Wrestler,
I decided to do a small scholl vs large school comparison since you are saying the smaller 321A schools are superior to 5-6A schools. You mentioned Hoxie,Oakley,Atwood,Brewster and colby so I will compare them to Lansing,Olathe N,Shawnee mission east,Olathe Nwand Shawnee mission Nw

Hoxie- 174 students, 11-1 teacher to student ratio, 95% graduation rate, spend $9,482 per student

Oakley-151 students,9-1 teacher to student ratio,96% graduation rate, $7,555 per student

Atwood- 189 students,11-1 ratio, graduation rate unavailable,$10.047 per student

Brewster- 135 students, 8-1 ratio,90% graduation rate,$13,696 per student

Colby- 259 students,14-1 ratio,94% graduation rate,$8371 per student


Lansing- 720 students, 17-1 ratio,99% graduation rate,$6,727 per student

Olathe north-1328 students,12-1 ratio, 92% graduation rate,$8,519 per student

Shawnee Mission east- 1999 students,18-1 ratio,92% graduation rate, $8,708 per student

Olathe NW-1233 students, 12-1 ratio, 92% graduation rate, $8,519 per student

Shawnee Mission NW-1835 students,17-1 ratio,92% graduation rate,$8,708 per student

According to these figures the large schools do just as good of a job and for less money, they offer far more opportunities for their students, of all of the schools listed Lansing spent the least per student $6,727, while Brewster spent the most $13,696.

After looking at these figures I think Will is right we can combine some small schools and save tax dollars.
