The benefit is even more pronounced for black students. The Princeton study analyzed an experiment known as Project STAR in Tennessee, involving 11,600 elementary students and teachers. Between 1985 and 1989, students were randomly chosen for smaller classes of 13 to 17 students, compared to average classes of 22 to 25 students. The students returned to regular-sized classes in the fourth grade.
