This Statistical Analysis Report examines the postsecondary majors and teaching certifications of public high school-level teachers of departmentalized classes. Using data from the 2011–12 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), a sample survey of elementary and secondary schools in the United States, this report examines the percentages of teachers who have a major or certificate in their main assignment in a selection of 11 broad subject areas and 9 subfields. The 11 broad subject areas include English, mathematics, science, social science, French, German, Latin, Spanish, art/arts and crafts, music, and dance/drama or theater. Subfields of science include biology/life science, physical science, chemistry, earth science, and physics. Subfields of social science include economics, geography, government/civics, and history.

  *   In general, a majority of teachers of 11 broad subject fields held both a postsecondary degree and a teaching certification in their respective main assignments, except for Latin and dance/drama or theater.
  *   In the 11 broad subject areas, a majority of grade 9–12 classes were taught by teachers with both an in-field major and an in-field certification, except for German, Latin, and dance/drama or theater.
