What stands out about Conecuh County

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +42.1% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Alabama's statewide +18.0% by 24.1 points, a growth rate faster than 98% of the 118 Alabama districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,941 to 1,487 students (23.4% 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.
