MCPS 18th on Class Size/Instructional Caseload

Examining more data from the State Dept of Education website and saw some remarkable new information. All data is taken via downloads from www.mdreportcard.org

Despite spending so much more per pupil (See Part 1) when we examine Instructional Staff per Thousand Pupils, or Pupils per Instructional Staff (two ways of showing the same thing) we see MCPS ranks very poorly compared to the rest of the State.

MCPS ranked 18th out of the 24 school systems in Maryland on this class size / instructional caseload measure.
