Welcome to the NACAC members-only resource section. The student-to-counselor ratio resources include a downloadable fact sheet and PowerPoint slides, as well as interactive dashboards. These tools are provided to allow for additional insight into the data and to support advocacy for school counselors with policymakers at the school, district, and government levels.

How do I use the dashboards? Interact with the dashboards to increase your understanding about trends in student-to-counselor ratios. Use the map for a visual representation of variations in ratios across states and regions. Use the line and bar charts to view 10-year trends and to see how your state compares to the national average.
