What stands out about Osceola Public Schools

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved -7.8% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Nebraska's statewide +9.1% by 17.0 points, a growth rate faster than 4% of the 221 Nebraska districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 12.4% here, from 217 students in FY2019 to 244 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 (244 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
