As noted previously, high schools are much
more likely than elementary schools to have
four or more FTE arts instructors on staff.
While this is partly because high schools have
larger student populations, high schools are
also more likely than elementary schools to
meet or exceed the desired 1:350 ratio. For all
four years of data collection, the large majority of high schools have met this goal. Elementary schools, while less likely to meet the goal,
have made large improvements each year. In
2015-16, 88 percent of high schools and 68
percent of elementary schools met or exceeded the 1:350 ratio. For elementary schools,
this is a six percentage point increase from
the previous year.
