2022-2023 Ratio of Students to Full-Time Equivalent School Psychologists in U.S. Public Elementary and Secondary Schools. Research Reports: Data Brief. Volume 8, Number 3

The current brief provides an overview of the 2022-2023 school year's student to school psychologist ratio for every United States territory, using the National Center for Education Statistics counts of school psychologists. In addition to this, data are presented on the percentage change in student to school psychologist ratio from the 2021-2022 school year to the 2022-2023 school year (i.e., the currently released data). When territory ratios for the 2022-2023 school year were examined by region, the data displayed significant differences. No associations were found between the student to school psychologist ratio and territory population, the number of graduate programs in school psychology in that territory, or the average school psychologist salary. This information is vital for tracking workforce shortages, as well as the effects of advocacy efforts throughout the country.
