Looking at the comments here, there appears to be some consensus on what works, what is problematic, etc. Issue is political/social will to make it happen.

Perhaps the root problem is not the classroom size, but rahter the scale of the socio-political unit.

Seriously. There are efficiciencies of scale, and then there are inefficiencies of scale. Sometimes we shouldn't enforce standardization not because the standards aren't good, but because implementing them isn't efficient.
