student-teacher ratio
Pupils per instructor
The student-teacher ratio is the number of students per teacher in a school or educational system, typically expressed as a figure like 15:1 or "fifteen to one." Lower ratios suggest more individual attention for students: The private school boasts a student-teacher ratio of 8:1.
The metric appears frequently in school rankings and policy debates, though it doesn't account for class sizes, which may differ significantly.
