<p>For those of you that are in H.S. how many teachers hold doctorates? I am curious to see if there is a correlation between the quality of education and the amount of teachers holding doctorates. I got to a fairly competive catholic high school in NY, where 3 out of 22 teachers hold doctorates. My Latin teacher has a doctorate from Columbia, as does my APUSH history teacher and my french teacher holds two doctorates from NYU.</p>
<p>None. Ordinary school, though.</p>
<p>i go to ordinary public school and only the principal and ap/honors chem teacher have doctorates, but the chem teachers doctorate is in nutrition</p>
<p>5 docs in my school</p>
<p>Several teachers have doctorates at my school, but they're generally in education, not the field they teach in. Ergo, they don't really make a difference.</p>
<p>no teachers that I know of; one of the guidance counselors holds one.</p>
<p>I've never counted, there are a ton of teachers in my school. </p>
<p>Probably over 5 if you count administrators.</p>
<p>9 teachers at my school hold doctorates (11 including principal & assistant principal), most of them with doctorates in education. However, we have a calculus teacher that has a doctorate in mathematics from Yale and he used to teach calculus at Yale for a couple of years.</p>
<p>My school has pretty high expectations for teachers. My english teacher left to be a principal at another school (and he had a doctorate in educational leadership I think), and the administration still hasn't found an english teacher. I remember the assistant principal (she just got her doctorate haha) told us that they interviewed 4 candidates and turned down all of them.</p>
<p>And my school is small; it only has 1000 students (Jr./Sr. High: it has 400 high school students).</p>
<p>My chem teacher last year had a doctorate from UC Berkeley. I think my AP English teacher has a doctorate but we don't address him as "Dr".</p>
<p>My APUSH teacher has a doctorate, and last year my APWH teacher did to!!</p>
<p>
<p>PhD or EdD Including Administration: 16 PhD or EdD Teaching Faculty Only: 15PhD or EdD
The remaining teachers hold an MA. Our school also has high expectations for teaching faculty, which I think is excellent and definately encouraging. I now want my doctorate in English Literature, like my IB English teacher has :P</p>
<p>I had Dr. Goodin, my algebra II teacher, last year.
And Dr. Orr (or should I say Who_e), my physics teacher this year.</p>
<p>The AP Bio teacher at my school has a PhD in Zoology. And one of our spanish teachers has her doctorate in business...huh?!</p>
<p>I believe at my school only one teacher has a doctorate and he just earned it recently.</p>
<p>small public school- 3 teachers are addressed as Dr. x/y/z, all 3 of them english teachers. there are probably more teachers that hold doctorates, but either i am unaware or i havent had them as teachers yet.</p>
<p>My very mediocre public high school had 3: IB German (PhD UNC), IB Chemistry (PhD Columbia), and AP/IB Physics (PhD Los Alamos NL). Four if you count my Biology teacher, but she left right after she earned hers.</p>
<p>1700ish kids
principal, 3 bio, 3 chem, 2 physics/engineering, 1 math, 2 english</p>
<p>and some Ed.Ds in the administration.</p>
<p>theres a couple of chem teachers in my school who have doctorates yet they teach only "regular" chem.</p>
<p>My physics teacher last year had a doctorate. He was terrible, though.</p>
<p>My psych teacher is getting his PhD this year also.</p>
<p>My physics teacher has a couple of different masters degrees. He worked for NASA until he got laid off.
Awful teacher. Nice guy, though.</p>
