What stands out about Holdrege Public Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +15.4% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Nebraska's statewide +9.1% by 6.2 points, a growth rate faster than 74% of the 221 Nebraska districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,101 to 1,014 students (7.9% 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.
