What stands out about Minneola

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +10.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Kansas's statewide +15.7% by 4.7 points, a growth rate faster than 31% of the 279 Kansas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 7.5% here, from 240 students in FY2019 to 258 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 (258 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
