What stands out about Calaveras County Office of Education

  • It ranks in the top 5% of US districts for estimated teacher pay, the highest estimate among the 10,684 reliable-salary districts nationally.
  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +5.6% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing California's statewide +25.3% by 19.6 points, a growth rate faster than 5% of the 856 California districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 498 to 449 students (9.8% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up.

  • It is a very small district (449 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $50,753 is among the highest in the nation.
