What stands out about Franklin County Community Sch Corp

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +3.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Indiana's statewide +13.9% by 10.4 points, a growth rate faster than 12% of the 289 Indiana districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 2,267 to 2,049 students (9.6% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up.
