What stands out about Elgin SD 23

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +32.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Oregon's statewide +26.7% by 6.1 points, a growth rate faster than 72% of the 178 Oregon districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 5.2% here, from 385 students in FY2019 to 405 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.
  • It is a very small district (405 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
