There were 350 students being taught by 40.5 teachers in Sizer School: A North Central Charter Essential District, which covers schools within Worcester County and has a main office in Fitchburg. That's an average of 8.6 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.
In the previous year, Sizer School: A North Central Charter Essential District had 366 students and 38.7 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.
