What stands out about North Kansas City 74

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +11.2% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Missouri's statewide +14.3% by 3.1 points, a growth rate faster than 31% of the 499 Missouri districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 5.2% here, from 19,537 students in FY2019 to 20,561 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.
