What stands out about Davis

  • It ranks in the bottom 10% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 10% of districts.
  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +20.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Oklahoma's statewide +6.4% by 14.3 points, a growth rate faster than 87% of the 503 Oklahoma districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,007 to 871 students (13.5% 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.
