What stands out about Olney ISD

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +6.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Texas's statewide +10.1% by 3.6 points, a growth rate faster than 30% of the 1,015 Texas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 7.7% here, from 677 students in FY2019 to 729 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.
