Meadows Union boasts an exceptional staffing profile relative to its student population, employing nearly 105 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This includes 38 FTE classroom teachers, 8.5 instructional aides, and over 58 support personnel. This robust staffing model yields a remarkably favorable student-to-teacher ratio of under ten to one, allowing educators to offer highly individualized instruction, strong support services, and a nurturing academic environment.
