In a recently published study, Detroit area private schools posted their student to faculty ratios. The majority of private schools reported a 17:1 student to faculty ratio or greater. Some private schools were 20+ students per faculty member. The good news for parents who are considering the vast selection of public schools—especially those prime schools of choice in the community—is that many of the Metro Detroit choice public schools are offering 20:1 — a small difference but without the six figure tuition expense! As household budgets get tighter, parents can feel good about the high quality of education and individual attention offered by many of Metro Detroit's excellent public schools.
