What stands out about Greenwood-leflore Cons Sch District

  • It ranks in the bottom 10% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 10% of districts.
  • This is a contracting district: 4,717 students in FY2020 down to 4,030 in FY2023, a 14.6% decline. Enrolment drives most state funding formulas, so the finance figures below describe a budget under downward pressure rather than a steady state.
