STAFFING
33
The story behind the difference between elementary and high schools in staffing scores can be seen more clearly by looking at the staffing counts for each school type , shown in the table below . Overall , 91 percent of responding schools reported at least one FTE arts instructor , 16 and only 10 percent of elementary and six percent of high schools reported less than one FTE . At the high end , however , 52 percent of high schools and only 20 percent of elementary schools reported three or more arts instructors on staff . Notwithstanding the differences between high schools and elementary schools in enrollment , these numbers illustrate how the notion of a robust arts program varies across these two school types .
