What stands out about Grants Pass SD 7

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +17.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Oregon's statewide +26.7% by 9.2 points, a growth rate faster than 21% of the 178 Oregon districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 6,070 to 5,719 students (5.8% 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.
