What stands out about Briggs Elementary

  • It ranks in the top 10% of US districts for estimated teacher pay, higher than 92% of the 10,684 reliable-salary districts nationally.
  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +45.0% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing California's statewide +25.3% by 19.7 points, a growth rate faster than 93% of the 856 California districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 526 to 473 students (10.1% 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.
  • It is a very small district (473 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
