Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the change of elementary school size as well as its related factors over past 6 years（2000-2005）. A survey research was conducted with questionnaires. The subjects totaled sixty principles and eight hundred and two teachers were sampled from the public elementary schools located in Kaohsiung Area. This author analyzed these data with descriptive statistic, one way ANOVA, Chi-square test and made following conclusions:
1. According to the change of school size, the elementary schools in Kaoshiung Area can be grouped into three types that are recessional school, stable school and expanded school. The recessional schools are in the majority.
2. The tree types are different in some of the input factors. The expanded-school-type has superiority in school buildings and government grants; while, the recessional -school-type has inferiority in school buildings, government grants and parents subsidy.
3. The tree types are different in some of the process factors. The expanded-school-type has superiority in principle leadership and the numbers of English curriculum teacher; while, the recessional-school-type has inferiority in the numbers of English curriculum teacher and the budget of developing school-base curriculum.
4. The tree types are different in some of the outcome factors. The expanded-school-type has superiority in school reputation and community relationships ; while, the recessional-school-type also has superiority in student behavior routines.
5. The tree type schools are partial different in context factors. There are more and more populations in expanded schools distract and get more and more transfer students in; on the contrary, the recessional schools distract get less and less populations and more and more student transfer out.
Based on the study findings,some suggestions were made as follows::
1. The government should pay more attention to the equity of resource allocation, and try to avoid discrimination.
2. The recessional schools should pay more attention to get more resource in order to slow down the student loss.
