What stands out about North Schuylkill SD

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +0.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Pennsylvania's statewide +14.1% by 13.5 points, a growth rate faster than 6% of the 469 Pennsylvania districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 6.4% here, from 1,971 students in FY2019 to 2,097 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.
