What stands out about Butterfield-Odin Public Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +7.4% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Minnesota's statewide +14.0% by 6.6 points, a growth rate faster than 23% of the 326 Minnesota districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 9.1% here, from 208 students in FY2019 to 227 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
  • It is a very small district (227 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
