Ratio of Students to Full-Time Equivalent School Psychologists in U.S. Public Elementary and Secondary Schools. Research Reports: Data Brief. Volume 6, Number 2

This data brief provides an overview of the 2020-2021 school year's student to school psychologist ratio for every U.S. 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 2019-2020 school year and the 2020-2021 school year (i.e., currently released data). When territory ratios for the 2020-2021 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. This information is vital for tracking workforce shortages, as well as the effects of advocacy efforts, throughout the country.
