What stands out about Plymouth Community School Corp

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +26.0% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Indiana's statewide +13.9% by 12.1 points, a growth rate faster than 87% of the 289 Indiana districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 3,526 to 3,275 students (7.1% 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.
