What stands out about Morrill Public Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +35.3% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Nebraska's statewide +9.1% by 26.2 points, a growth rate faster than 97% of the 221 Nebraska districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 407 to 330 students (18.9% 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.
  • It is a very small district (330 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $25,515 is among the highest in the nation.
