What stands out about Parma City
- It ranks in the top 10% of US districts for estimated teacher pay, higher than 95% of the 10,684 reliable-salary districts nationally.
- Estimated teacher pay here rose +25.4% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Ohio's statewide +19.8% by 5.6 points, a growth rate faster than 75% of the 604 Ohio districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment fell from 9,841 to 9,239 students (6.1% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up. Districts on that path are usually holding staffing steady against a falling roll, which lifts the per-teacher figure without anyone getting a raise, so read this page's salary estimate alongside the enrolment line rather than on its own.
