What stands out about Greenwood 52

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +33.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing South Carolina's statewide +21.3% by 12.4 points, a growth rate faster than 90% of the 67 South Carolina districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,573 to 1,484 students (5.7% 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.
