I don't think that aversions are very notable here.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
"Actual teachers may be limited to the homeroom, English, nurse and gym teacher; sometimes both at once. Both will preferably be female characters in their mid-twenties, although the gym teachers are sometimes men or ambiguously lesbian or mannish women."
Is this a remnant from an earlier version of this trope because it doesn't seem to apply to the majority of examples. Ignoring the aversions a great many of the entries have middle aged male teachers outside of gym (and sometimes no visible female staff at all.) Even female teachers are often much older than mid-twenties.
I suppose Beelzebub has a school composed of only delinquents who inexplicably go to school everyday despite having apparently no classes and with a teacher NEVER shown anywhere. They literally just wander the hallways fighting.

Seriously, you can't count Archie in this if Degrassi: TNG counts as an aversion. Even if you discount the REALLY minor characters (Howitzer, Grimley, Haggly), you have a cast of seven or eight recurring characters.
I don't think we need to list aversions here. This trope isn't all THAT ubiquitous to fiction, is it?
