What stands out about Loogootee Community Sch Corp

  • It ranks in the bottom 5% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 4% of districts.
  • Enrolment fell from 837 to 750 students (10.4% 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.
