I went to a one room school that had all eight grades, 38 students and 5 children with handicaps, 2 were deaf and had speech problems, 2 had learning problems and one was in a wheel chair. No running water and outdoor bathrooms and one teacher.
My husbands one room school had no electricity, outdoor bathrooms and the road wasn't snowplowed in the winter, he skied to school from first grade on.
Even with this start in life we turned out OK
