Actually, the costs per student for those disricts w/ over a 100 students enrolled is about the same for all classes. There are actually 8 districts w/ less than 100 kids that are expensive. But given the amount of state aid is the same for all districts, regardless of size, the only people who care should be the patrons of that district and absentee land lords. See the below link for the figures:

So now, focus on wrestling, the argument for school consolidation, at least on a large scale, does not hold given the numbers. As Mr. Mann said, all one has to do is look.
