About Us

Class Size Matters is a non-profit organization that advocates for class size reduction in NYC’s public schools and the nation as a whole.  The New York Times has called us the “city’s leading proponent of smaller classes.”

We provide information on the benefits of class size reduction to parents, teachers, and concerned citizens, as well as monitor class sizes in New York City.  We  issue reports on class size and related issues, hold conferences and provide briefings to community groups and parent organizations.

The organization’s founder and Executive Director, Leonie Haimson, has been named a “Family Hero” by New York Family magazine.  She has appeared on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Good Day NY, WNBC news, and numerous national radio shows.  She has been quoted in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Daily News, New York Post, El Diario, Education Week, and Amsterdam News, as well as many other newspapers, magazines and journals.

Ms. Haimson is the editor of the NYC Public School Parent blog and a columnist for the Huffington Post.  She is also a founding member of Parents Across America, an organization dedicated to making the parent voice heard in the national debate over education reform.
