There were 796 students being taught by 58 teachers in Lawrence Family Development Charter District, which covers schools within Essex County and has a main office in Lawrence. That's an average of 13.7 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.
In the previous year, Lawrence Family Development Charter District had 786 students and 62 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.
