Abstract
The number of students in high school math classrooms were drastically smaller during the 2020-2021 global pandemic “Coronavirus’. Research done in a southern Ohio school district, evaluated how the number of students in each class period affects the amount of individual participation and student interactions. The research also determined how overall class averages differed depending on class size. The classes continued to get smaller due to students transitioning to online learning throughout the year. Research shows that the online students are affected by the lack of student interactions, and lack of ability to participate. With that being said, setting up classes with the proper number of students is setting up those students for academic success. This prompts the question, what is the most ideal class size for high school math students to achieve said, academic success?

How Does Class Size Effect Student Success in a High School Math Class?
The number of students in high school math classrooms were drastically smaller during the 2020-2021 global pandemic “Coronavirus’. Research done in a southern Ohio school district, evaluated how the number of students in each class period affects the amount of individual participation and student interactions. The research also determined how overall class averages differed depending on class size. The classes continued to get smaller due to students transitioning to online learning throughout the year. Research shows that the online students are affected by the lack of student interactions, and lack of ability to participate.
