A Conceptual Analysis of Grade Span Configurations for 6-8 and K-8 Public Schools

The Online Journal of New Horizons in Education

In this extensive review of the literature, we addressed the topic of grade span configurations and academic achievement as they relate to adolescents. We examined the historical trends of school organization to provide a context for understanding policies and decisions regarding grade span configurations. We also analyzed early studies regarding nonacademic student indicators and grade spans as background for more recent academic investigations. Two major school reform movements were discussed because of their prominence in the history of grade span configurations. Moreover, international, national, and state assessment data were explored regarding adolescent proficiency and student growth over the past 20 years. Finally, we outlined the two major theories (i.e., school transition and instructional environment) that have framed the grade span configuration debate from its inception.
