Texas, I got.

Dallas County is turning out to be pretty elusive, however.


Any thoughts...?

I found the student teacher ratio in Dallas county --for each
individual school in a list. Unfortunally the list is 739 lines and
the column (in excel) would take too much modification before an
average could be obtained. Is the page with the list of schools and
each school's ratio, --along with the average in the State of Texas
ok?

Mark, 

Here's the resource that compares states, regions, districts,
counties, and schools that might work for you.

After I posted my clarification request, I noticed the Texas average
is from 2000, that might not be recent enough for you. If it is, let
me know. In the meantime, here's what I have:

This link lists all Dallas County Schools, the ratio is in a column on
the far right.

Here's a national table (by state) for student-teacher ratio from 2000:

instructional level and by state: School year 1999-2000

And here it is by school district:

The data is close enough for government work (which is what this is for) :).

Much appreciated.
