[Phys-L] US schools



I was curious about how many schools are in the US.

From Wikipedia entry ("Education in the United States"):

In 2010, there were 3,823,142 teachers in public, charter, private, and
Catholic elementary and secondary schools. They taught a total of
55,203,000 students, who attended one of 132,656 schools.

5,072,451 students attended 33,740 private elementary and secondary
schools in 2007

So private schools make up about 25% of the total.
