What stands out about Eastern Local

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +29.6% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Ohio's statewide +19.8% by 9.8 points, a growth rate faster than 84% of the 604 Ohio districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 801 to 726 students (9.4% 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.
