California public schools by students per teacher

9,907 of the 93,998 public schools ranked nationally on this measure are in California. The highest-placed is Mountain High, 78 in the country.

Ranks in this table are national. A rank recomputed inside one state would read as a different number for the same public school on its own page, which is how a ranking stops being a fact and becomes a page-level opinion.
