What stands out about Mcloud

  • It ranks in the bottom 5% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 2% of districts.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,788 to 1,667 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.
