Re: High School Student to Mentor ratio

I'd say:
~3 students per adult mentor is the typical average at one of the schools I help at.

At a second school it's about 5 students per mentor.

At a third school it's probably 12 to 1

It seems to be directly proportional to the amount of school administration support the robotics team receives. Some schools throw a lot of support behind the FIRST program, demonstrated through both financial and teacher resources while other teams have only a single teacher dedicated to robotics.

It's so very hard for a lone teacher to manage a program of this magnitude, as well as recruit parents and local industry to the cause. My hats off to you dedicated teachers who can make a team happen.
