There were 5,515 students being taught by 438.3 teachers in Needham Public Schools District, which covers schools within Norfolk County and has a main office in Needham. That's an average of 12.6 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.
In the previous year, Needham Public Schools District had 5,483 students and 421.4 teachers on staff.
However, the state is facing a teacher shortage, just like the rest of the U.S. NewsNation reported that the state was offering emergency teaching licenses to educators who only had bachelor’s degrees, in an effort to get more teachers into schools.
Massachusetts has roughly one teacher for every 13 students, which is better than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students.
