What stands out about Lamoure 8

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +30.2% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing North Dakota's statewide +11.9% by 18.4 points, a growth rate faster than 95% of the 130 North Dakota districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 306 to 260 students (15.0% 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 (260 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
