The ratio of students to teachers in Norton School District fell by 2.3% in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

There were 2,376 students being taught by 190.4 teachers in Norton School District, which covers schools within Bristol County and has a main office in Norton. That's an average of 12.5 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.

In the previous year, Norton School District had 2,358 students and 184.8 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.

Massachusetts was ranked as the eighth best state for teachers, according to a WalletHub study.
