The ideal student-to-counselor ratio is 250-to-1. But only three states—New Hampshire, Vermont, and Wyoming—meet that standard.

Discuss the implications for students and the profession during a March 12 Facebook Live Q&A.

The hourlong discussion will kick off at 1 p.m. (ET) and will feature David Hawkins, NACAC’s executive director for educational content and policy, and Jill Cook, assistant director of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA).

The chat will be informed by data included in a report released last month by NACAC and ASCA. Check out a state-by-state breakdown of student-to-counselor ratios and make plans to watch the full conversation live on NACAC’s Facebook page.
