What stands out about Kimball Public Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved -1.2% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Nebraska's statewide +9.1% by 10.4 points, a growth rate faster than 14% of the 221 Nebraska districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • This is a contracting district: 421 students in FY2019 down to 394 in FY2023, a 6.4% decline. Enrolment drives most state funding formulas, so the finance figures below describe a budget under downward pressure rather than a steady state.
  • It is a very small district (394 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
