What stands out about MSD Boone Township

  • It ranks in the bottom 10% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 7% of districts.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,144 to 1,072 students (6.3% 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.
