Colonial schools varied in size and attendance, often reflecting the community's wealth and commitment to education. Many were small, one-room schoolhouses with limited enrollment, usually serving a handful of students from local families. In some areas, particularly in urban centers, schools could be more crowded, but overall, educational opportunities were limited, and attendance was not mandatory, resulting in varying levels of participation. Additionally, education was often reserved for boys, with girls receiving little formal schooling.
