What stands out about Cuyahoga Falls City
- Estimated teacher pay here rose +40.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Ohio's statewide +19.8% by 20.7 points, a growth rate faster than 96% of the 604 Ohio districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment fell from 4,626 to 4,022 students (13.1% 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.
