In 1996-97, the School District of Bruce’s pupil/teacher ratio was 13.6/1, a
figure that was +1.7 students/1 teacher or +11.1% lower/better than the
average of all Wisconsin school districts in that year (15.3/1). Over the
nine year span of time from 1996-97 to 2006-07, the School District of
Bruce’s pupil/teacher ratio remained virtually the same (13.6/1 to 13.5/1), a
decline of a mere -.1 pupil/teacher or -.7%. During the same nine year
span of time, the pupil/teacher ratio for the average of all Wisconsin school
districts declined from 15.3/1 to 14.7/1, a decrease of -.6 pupil/1 teacher or
-3.9%.
During the 2006-07 school year, the School District of Bruce’s pupil/teacher
ratio (13.5/1) trailed (was better than) the average of all Wisconsin school
districts’ pupil/teacher ratio (14.7/1) by -1.2 pupils/1 teacher or -8.2%.

2006-07 but, still, remained significantly lower/better than the pupil/teacher

time, it is to be positively noted that, while the average of all State of
