Lowest Teacher:Student Ratio

All Schools

400+ students

200-400 students < 200 students More

Among "Schools with 400+ Students", view the boarding schools with the lowest teacher:student ratio (2020).
Teacher:student ratios are only one indicator of student attention, as they merely indicate the number of adults on campus (in a teacher-related capacacity) relative to the number of students.
The teacher:student ratio is different than the average class size at a school and should not be confused as such.
