2021-2022 Ratio of Students to Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) School Psychologists in U.S. Public Elementary and Secondary Schools. Research Reports: Data Brief. Volume 7, Number 1

The current brief provides an overview of the 2021-2022 school year student-to-school psychologist ratio for every United States territory, using the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) counts of school psychologists. In addition to this, data are presented on the percentage change in student-to-school psychologist ratio from the 2020-2021 school year to the 2021-2022 school year (i.e., most recently released data). When territory ratios for the 2021-2022 school year were examined by region, the Northeast region was found to have significantly smaller ratios (i.e., fewer students per school psychologist) than all other regions. No associations were found between the student-to-school psychologist ratio and territory population or number of graduate programs in school psychology in that territory. There was a significant association between the student-to-school psychology ratio and the average salary in that territory. This information is vital for tracking workforce shortages, as well as the effects of advocacy efforts, throughout the country.
