180 is the number of educators arrested. Why are you dividing that number by the number of students?
According to the article, 9.6% of students in grades 8 - 11 reported being the victim of sexual misconduct at the hands of an educator.
Grades 8 - 11 represent roughly 4/13 or 31% of the student population (4 years out of 13 years counting k-12). That would represent about 15m students, out of which roughly 1.5m have reported being the victim of sexual misconduct by an educator.
That's just looking at grades 8-11. It certainly doesn't mean k-7 and seniors are any safer.
Your numbers and logic are way off.

if each teacher abused 1 kid it's correct. But double or triple or quadruple the rate and it's still tiny.
