What stands out about Gerber Union Elementary

  • It ranks in the top 10% of US districts for estimated teacher pay, higher than 93% of the 10,684 reliable-salary districts nationally.
  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +8.0% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing California's statewide +25.3% by 17.3 points, a growth rate faster than 7% of the 856 California districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 5.6% here, from 378 students in FY2019 to 399 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 (399 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
