There were 4,953 students being taught by 511.6 teachers in Pittsfield Public Schools District, which covers schools within Berkshire County and has a main office in Pittsfield. That's an average of 9.7 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.
In the previous year, Pittsfield Public Schools District had 5,012 students and 486.1 teachers on staff.
However, the state is facing a teacher shortage, just like the rest of the U.S. NewsNation reported that the state was offering emergency teaching licenses to educators who only had bachelor’s degrees, in an effort to get more teachers into schools.
Massachusetts has roughly one teacher for every 13 students, which is better than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students.
