Student-to-Teacher Ratio

County: Monterey
Measurement Period: 2022-2023
Filter: none (all Counties)
This indicator shows the average number of public school students per teacher in the region. It does not measure class size.

Why is this important?

The student-teacher ratio gives an approximation of the amount of individualized attention from teachers that is available to each student. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, larger schools tend to have higher student-teacher ratios; a low student-to-teacher ratio can increase student achievement, enhance a child's test scores and provide lasting academic benefits. Although it is not the same as class size, the student-teacher ratio is often a reasonable alternative on which to base estimates of class size.
