Among "All Schools," view the twenty boarding schools with the "smallest average class sizes." First, some important notes:

• Keep in mind that small statistical differences in average class sizes between schools do not always indicate better student performance at one school or another.
• Also keep in mind that boarding schools in general have smaller average class sizes than public schools - even for schools with larger class sizes, a "large" class in a boarding school would still often be considered small by public school standards which often have class sizes of 20+ students.
