What stands out about Elmwood-murdock Public Schools

  • Enrolment grew 5.7% here, from 471 students in FY2019 to 498 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 (498 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
