What stands out about Marshall County Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +24.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing West Virginia's statewide +18.1% by 6.8 points, a growth rate faster than 87% of the 53 West Virginia districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 4,647 to 4,239 students (8.8% 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.
