This study investigates the impact of teacher-student ratio (TSR) on academic performance and teacher satisfaction in 32 schools across Auyo/Hadejia/Kafin-Hausa Federal Constituency of Nigeria. Employing a stratified random sampling technique, the research encompasses 320 teachers and 640 students, with class sizes categorized into low, medium, and high TSR groups. The analysis utilizes one-way ANOVA, MANOVA, t-test, and chi-square test to examine student scores in English, Mathematics, and Basic Science, alongside teacher satisfaction metrics. Descriptive analysis reveals frequency distributions of academic scores and teacher sentiments, while inferential analysis shows significant differences in student performance across TSR categories. Lower TSRs correlate with higher student scores in Mathematics and Science and increased teacher satisfaction. Conversely, higher TSRs are associated with lower academic achievement and greater teacher overwhelm. The study’s findings underscore the critical influence of TSR on educational outcomes and teacher well-being, advocating for policy considerations to optimize class sizes for enhanced educational quality. Optimum class size and teacher-to- students ratio stood at < 20 students/class, and > 20 students/teacher.
