I've got 104 students, with one new move in per week. I teach six sections. There are some support personel like librarians.

The overall ratio is much lower because of the feds and their mandates for special-ed, counselors, therapists, and the like. That brings the ratio down to 6.5-8.5 staff per student. The 8.5 per student is for districts that pack 150+ kids into one teacher's class. They pay their teachers more for that, so it all balances out, but is too impersonal for my tastes.

So you have around 18 students per section?

What do you teach?
