What stands out about King City R-i

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +5.2% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Missouri's statewide +14.3% by 9.2 points, a growth rate faster than 15% of the 499 Missouri districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 7.9% here, from 330 students in FY2019 to 356 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
  • It is a very small district (356 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
