What stands out about Baker SD 5J

  • It ranks in the bottom 5% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 0% of districts.
  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +7.0% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Oregon's statewide +26.7% by 19.7 points, a growth rate faster than 10% of the 178 Oregon districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
