Smallest average enrolment per grade

Below, find a list of private schools ranked by lowest average enrollment per grade. This can be helpful in several different contexts. Families with children who have social anxiety may find this pertinent. Other parents might feel that a school with smaller class cohorts will manage discipline better. Other advantages include a more close-knit social environment, and less competition for athletics, allowing for more school participation. (Note that this is different from small class sizes since schools can have multiple classes per grade level.) 

This is, of course, only one factor among many when it comes to this critical family decision. There are advantages to schools with large average enrollment per grade. We urge you to consult other tools that can help you make the most informed decision, notably our school comparison, as well as our comprehensive and growing advice guide.
