What stands out about East Feliciana Parish

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +27.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Louisiana's statewide +11.5% by 16.0 points, a growth rate faster than 80% of the 70 Louisiana districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,884 to 1,766 students (6.3% 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.
