| contents | Data Comparisons of Regional and Small High Schools. Guidance Programs Library Services Program Costs Regional Schools Secondary Schools Small Schools Student Teacher Ratio Tables (Data) Teacher Background The problem was to compare regional high schools including grades 9 to 12, small high schools having the same grades, and other high schools having per-pupil cost comparable to regional high schools in terms of the following criteria: (a) per-pupil expenditures; (b) pupil-teacher ratios; (c) number of different preparations per teacher; (d) scope of course offerings in each major curricular field; (e) ages of teachers; (f) teacher salaries; (g) educational experience of teachers; (h) availability of library and guidance personnel; and (i) educational preparation (degree level) of teachers. Results indicated that per-pupil cost in regional high schools is approximately $100 more than the per-pupil expenditure in small high schools; average pupil-teacher ratios in the 3 types of high schools do not vary greatly; teachers in small high schools average more different teaching preparation than their counterparts in regional and nonregional high schools; course offerings are fewer in the small high school; ages of teachers in the 3 types of high schools are roughly comparable but the salaries are smaller in the small high school; teachers in regional and selected nonregional high schools have the highest level of educational attainment; and guidance counselors and librarians are less likely to be available to students in small high schools.
