What stands out about Mt Vernon Community School Corp

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +9.1% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Indiana's statewide +13.9% by 4.8 points, a growth rate faster than 25% of the 289 Indiana districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 10.7% here, from 4,226 students in FY2019 to 4,677 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.
