Boarding Schools with the Lowest Teacher:Student Ratio

Lowest Teacher:Student Ratio

Among "All Schools," view the twenty boarding schools with the "lowest teacher:student ratio." First, some important notes:

Teacher:student ratios are only one indicator of student attention, as they merely indicate the number of adults on campus (in a teacher-related capacacity) relative to the number of students.

The teacher:student ratio is different than the average class size at a school and should not be confused as such.
