What stands out about Jac-Cen-Del Community Sch Corp

  • It ranks in the bottom 10% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 6% of districts.
  • Enrolment fell from 824 to 773 students (6.2% 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.
