What stands out about Fruitland District

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +14.3% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Idaho's statewide +21.5% by 7.1 points, a growth rate faster than 33% of the 109 Idaho districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,791 to 1,634 students (8.8% 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.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $9,289 is well below the national norm.
