The ratio of students to teachers in Middleton School District fell by 1% in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

There were 708 students being taught by 71.2 teachers in Middleton School District, which covers schools within Essex County and has a main office in Boxford. That's an average of 9.9 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.

In the previous year, Middleton School District had 678 students and 67.8 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.
