What stands out about Klamath County SD

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +18.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Oregon's statewide +26.7% by 7.8 points, a growth rate faster than 22% of the 178 Oregon districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 5.1% here, from 6,546 students in FY2019 to 6,877 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.
