What stands out about Lincolnville Public Schools
- Estimated teacher pay here rose +29.2% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Maine's statewide +20.0% by 9.2 points, a growth rate faster than 83% of the 159 Maine districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment fell from 219 to 204 students (6.8% 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 (204 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
