What stands out about Johnson County School District #1

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +14.6% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Wyoming's statewide +10.9% by 3.7 points, a growth rate faster than 70% of the 37 Wyoming districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,306 to 1,194 students (8.6% 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.
