According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the average cost per pupil in public elementary and secondary schools in the United States for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,756. This figure includes both instructional and non-instructional costs.

The average class size in the United States varies depending on the level of education. According to data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the average class size for public schools in the United States in the 2018-2019 school year was:

•Elementary school: 21 students •Middle/high school: 25 students •Combined (elementary and secondary) school: 23 students

If the average classroom size is 25 and the average per pupil is $12,756 that’s around $318,900 per classroom.If teachers got 1/3 of that our salaries would average $106,300… 1/4 $79,725. So why is the average teacher salary only $60,477?
