What stands out about Pilot Rock SD 2

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +56.8% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Oregon's statewide +26.7% by 30.0 points, a growth rate faster than 94% of the 178 Oregon districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 317 to 297 students (6.3% down) across FY2019–FY2023 while the instructional salary pool per teacher went up.

  • It is a very small district (297 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $39,616 is among the highest in the nation.
