Note. High-need schools were defined as (1) elementary schools with at least 60 percent of students who were considered economically disadvantaged; and (2) all other types of schools with at least 45 percent of students who were considered economically disadvantaged. Economic disadvantage data were obtained from ODEW’s school-level report card data for the 2022-2023 school year. School type data (e.g., elementary school, middle school, high school) were obtained from ODEW’s Educational Directory System. Data in this table reflect the number of educator licenses and positions at school level not the number of educators. Educators may hold more than one valid license and/or be employed in multiple schools.
