What stands out about Eminence Community School Corp

  • It ranks in the bottom 5% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 2% of districts.
  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +46.8% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Indiana's statewide +13.9% by 32.9 points, a growth rate faster than 99% of the 289 Indiana districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 369 to 306 students (17.1% 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.
  • It is a very small district (306 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
