What stands out about Marshall County Central Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +3.1% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Minnesota's statewide +14.0% by 11.0 points, a growth rate faster than 10% of the 326 Minnesota districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 7.0% here, from 427 students in FY2019 to 457 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
  • It is a very small district (457 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
