What stands out about Berea City
- It ranks in the top 10% of US districts for estimated teacher pay, higher than 91% of the 10,684 reliable-salary districts nationally.
- Estimated teacher pay here moved +11.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Ohio's statewide +19.8% by 8.3 points, a growth rate faster than 16% of the 604 Ohio districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment fell from 6,054 to 5,521 students (8.8% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.

Prices in Ohio run below the national average, so this salary has roughly the buying power of the national-price equivalent above. A district in a costlier state can advertise a larger nominal salary and still leave a teacher with less.
