What stands out about Maple Valley Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +32.6% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Michigan's statewide +17.1% by 15.4 points, a growth rate faster than 93% of the 513 Michigan districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 980 to 906 students (7.6% 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.
