What stands out about Lake Linden-Hubbell School District

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +8.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Michigan's statewide +17.1% by 8.4 points, a growth rate faster than 21% of the 513 Michigan districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 409 to 376 students (8.1% 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.
  • It is a very small district (376 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
