What stands out about Central Valley Public Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +20.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Nebraska's statewide +9.1% by 11.4 points, a growth rate faster than 86% of the 221 Nebraska districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 7.9% here, from 303 students in FY2019 to 327 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 (327 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $26,232 is among the highest in the nation.
