 Your not doing the math correctly .... it would be an increase of just less than 1 student per teacher in the 1st year ONLY. 2nd year, the increase is up to just less than 2 students per teacher. Year 3, just less than 3 and year 4 just less than 4 and then it levels off. So if this were to go into play in 2016, by 2020 you would be at an 18:1 ratio which would be one of the highest in the state not to mention again, the facility can't handle that kind of increase.

 The math would be done correctly if you take the additional 100 children entering 9th grade and divide by how many teachers you have for the freshman classes offered.   Just because the school has 125 teachers on a roster doesn't mean they all offering freshman classes.  

The bottom line is  - is the petition to level off student to teacher ratio OR to accomodate children to remain with the same group from school to school ?
