What stands out about Council District
- Estimated teacher pay here moved -3.3% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Idaho's statewide +21.5% by 24.8 points, a growth rate faster than 3% of the 109 Idaho districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment grew 34.7% here, from 277 students in FY2019 to 373 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 (373 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.

Prices in Idaho run below the national average, so this salary has roughly the buying power of the national-price equivalent above. A district in a costlier state can advertise a larger nominal salary and still leave a teacher with less.
