What stands out about Giltner Public Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +0.6% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Nebraska's statewide +9.1% by 8.5 points, a growth rate faster than 17% of the 221 Nebraska districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 17.7% here, from 209 students in FY2019 to 246 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 (246 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
