What stands out about Carmichaels Area SD

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +38.1% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Pennsylvania's statewide +14.1% by 23.9 points, a growth rate faster than 99% of the 469 Pennsylvania districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,083 to 956 students (11.7% 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.
