What stands out about Dundee Community Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +10.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Michigan's statewide +17.1% by 6.7 points, a growth rate faster than 26% of the 513 Michigan districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 6.7% here, from 1,690 students in FY2019 to 1,804 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.
