Synopsis

The book applies a data-driven approach to the core questions of elementary school administration.

It shows how a statistical method can clarify the value of intermediate schools, how promotion and non-promotion work in practice, and how age-grade standards affect students and schools.

This volume uses the New York City experience to explain when and how to implement changes in organization, classification, and scheduling. It explains the benefits and limits of different methods, and it provides concrete findings to guide decisions for school leaders and policymakers.

• How intermediate schools affect student progression and learning opportunities
• Factors that influence promotion rates, including class size, absence, language ability, and part-time schedules
• How age-grade standards shape age, grade placement, and age-related reporting
• Practical guidance for planning, staffing, and resource needs when making administrative changes

Ideal for educators and administrators seeking practical, data-backed guidance on school organization, promotion practices, and age-based reporting.
