Granted, not every employee is full time.
Well this is interesting because the average class size for grades 3-8 is reported to be 25. [Please note that these numbers are not particularly meaningful without the variances and the ranges]. I suppose that this would imply that you have multiple teachers per class, or a lot of people serving special ed kids, or there a lot of teachers on disability. What's more interesting is that on their Facts page there is not a single mention of student achievement or dropout rates. If I was going to enroll my children in the MPS it would be one of the first "facts" that I would want to know.
