Kansas Teacher Pay Overview

The highest average among comparably sized Kansas districts belongs to Rock Creek at $111,971. Placed 149 of 153, Northeast is in the lower quarter, where a state-average comparison flatters the district rather than describing it. Kentucky and West Virginia are the states closest to Kansas on BEA's price parity, which makes them the fair comparison; against a costlier state this salary goes further than its number suggests.
