What stands out about Granada Huntley East Chain

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +41.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Minnesota's statewide +14.0% by 27.9 points, a growth rate faster than 98% of the 326 Minnesota districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 6.1% here, from 309 students in FY2019 to 328 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 (328 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
