What stands out about North Adams-Jerome Public Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +25.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Michigan's statewide +17.1% by 8.3 points, a growth rate faster than 83% of the 513 Michigan districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 32.9% here, from 283 students in FY2019 to 376 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 (376 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
