There were 1,426 students being taught by 119.6 teachers in Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public District, which covers schools within Worcester County and has a main office in Worcester. That's an average of 11.9 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.
In the previous year, Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public District had 1,425 students and 115.1 teachers on staff.
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.
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.
