What stands out about Carrington 49

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved -6.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing North Dakota's statewide +11.9% by 18.7 points, a growth rate faster than 6% of the 130 North Dakota districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 22.6% here, from 500 students in FY2019 to 613 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.
