What stands out about Britton Deerfield Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +31.2% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Michigan's statewide +17.1% by 14.0 points, a growth rate faster than 92% of the 513 Michigan districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 533 to 388 students (27.2% 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 (388 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
