How does Sample Combined School compare with other Quintile 3 public combined schools?
Averages are of other Quintile 3 public combined schools only; an area average is shown when at least 3 report the figure. These are counts, not measures of quality. The educator count includes principals, deputy principals, heads of department and other non-teaching staff, so the learner-educator ratio is not class size.
What is the learner-to-educator ratio at Sample Combined School?
How many learners there are per educator, compared to schools in the same quintile and phase. The educator count includes teachers, heads of department, and principals, so real class sizes are usually larger than this number suggests.
