What stands out about Midway 128

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +4.1% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing North Dakota's statewide +11.9% by 7.7 points, a growth rate faster than 26% of the 130 North Dakota districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 16.3% here, from 172 students in FY2019 to 200 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 (200 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
