What stands out about Randolph County

  • It ranks in the bottom 10% nationally for estimated teacher pay, above only 6% of districts.
  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +23.0% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Georgia's statewide +19.4% by 3.6 points, a growth rate faster than 84% of the 180 Georgia districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 826 to 642 students (22.3% 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.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $27,255 is among the highest in the nation.
