What stands out about Ignacio School District No. 11Jt

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +16.6% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Colorado's statewide +25.5% by 8.9 points, a growth rate faster than 34% of the 168 Colorado districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 730 to 641 students (12.2% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up.
