What stands out about Quakertown Community SD

  • It ranks in the top 10% of US districts for estimated teacher pay, higher than 94% of the 10,684 reliable-salary districts nationally.
  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +18.4% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Pennsylvania's statewide +14.1% by 4.3 points, a growth rate faster than 76% of the 469 Pennsylvania districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 5,109 to 4,675 students (8.5% 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.
