Yep. I assume if someone took the time to extrapolate all the data from http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/national-rankings the correlation would be obvious. Heck if you look at the first page (top schools) you see 14:1, 10:1 ratios. Skip to the last page and you start seeing 20:1, 23:1..and the ones on the last page that have a lower ratio have like 100 students.

Update: Ok you can click on the students/teacher ratio header. What an eyeopener - we've been proven right Craig.

>Absolutely right. Utah has the highest pupil/teacher ratio in the nation. If you believe people that say you need more teachers to improve test scores, they're wrong. Utah students consistently have some of the highest standardized/ACT/SAT scores in the nation.

>>It's pretty simple. More teachers does not always lower teacher/student ratio. Those telling graphics you speak of do not tell the whole (or an accurate) story.
