What stands out about Goessel

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +23.4% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Kansas's statewide +15.7% by 7.8 points, a growth rate faster than 75% of the 279 Kansas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 320 to 294 students (8.1% 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 (294 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
