The district reported no teachers to NCES for the year, so it has no ratio.
What this data cannot show
- Enrollment is NCES fall membership: the pupils on a district’s rolls on or about October 1, not its attendance or its residents of school age.
- The table lists the 100 largest. The find reaches all 17,800 districts that report pupils, and each district’s page states its rank; the 1,383 that report none are not ranked.
- Pupils per teacher is the district’s own membership over its own full-time-equivalent teachers, both from its district file. Where a district reports no teachers there is no ratio.
