go to this website and compare the test scores of large 5a and 6a schools to some 3a schools, with an exception of the Blue Valley Schools and a few others none of the schools are even close to matching up in test scores. Maybe this is because at smaller schools there are more teachers to students. Believe it or not, more teachers per students means that the kids can get more help when they need it. therefore in my opinion leaving the smalls schools would give Kansas kids a better education.
