The ratio of students to teachers in Georgetown Public Schools District rose by 5.9% in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

There were 1,276 students being taught by 101 teachers in Georgetown Public Schools District, which covers schools within Essex County and has a main office in Georgetown. That's an average of 12.6 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.

Massachusetts has roughly one teacher for every 13 students, which is better than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students.

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.
