| Student-teacher ratio |
|
|
This shows the number of students per classroom teacher. A low student-teacher ratio is not the same as a small class size. Some schools have teachers who teach specialized subjects with smaller classes or teach on a part-time basis. Other schools hire extra teachers to free up class preparation time for their core teaching staff. All of these possibilities lower the overall student-teacher ratio but not the average class size.
