What stands out about Eastern Howard School Corporation

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +9.3% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Indiana's statewide +13.9% by 4.5 points, a growth rate faster than 27% of the 289 Indiana districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 6.8% here, from 1,530 students in FY2019 to 1,634 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.
