The ratio of students to teachers in Greater Commonwealth Virtual District fell by 3.1% in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

There were 1,030 students being taught by 66.6 teachers in Greater Commonwealth Virtual District, which covers schools within Franklin County and has a main office in Greenfield. That's an average of 15.5 students per teacher in the district during the 2021-22 school year.

Massachusetts was ranked as the eighth best state for teachers, according to a WalletHub study.
