There were 2,894 students being taught by 235.3 teachers in Westwood Public Schools District, which covers schools within Norfolk County and has a main office in Westwood. That's an average of 12.3 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.
In the previous year, Westwood Public Schools District had 2,952 students and 242.5 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.
Despite the shortage, under-representation of ethnicities among teachers was found to be a concern. The Rennie Center reported that only nine percent of teachers are people of color.
