What stands out about Herington
- Estimated teacher pay here rose +25.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Kansas's statewide +15.7% by 10.1 points, a growth rate faster than 81% of the 279 Kansas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment fell from 484 to 450 students (7.0% 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 (450 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.

Prices in Kansas run below the national average, so this salary has roughly the buying power of the national-price equivalent above. A district in a costlier state can advertise a larger nominal salary and still leave a teacher with less.
