In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to help improve students' school performance.

Persistent and substantial gaps were observed, particularly between Black and Hispanic students.
