WA teacher shortage remains rampant heading into upcoming school year [View all]
Washington ranks twelfth in the nation, the bottom 25%, among states with the highest teacher shortage.
The ranking comes from Scholaroo, an education research firm, which examines the number of teachers in the workforce per 1,000 enrolled students.
Scholaroo released the second edition of its “Teacher Shortage in the U.S. 2023” report, which examines the latest available data on teachers in public schools in each state compared to student enrollment figures in that state’s public schools.
