What stands out about School City of Whiting

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +16.9% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Indiana's statewide +13.9% by 3.0 points, a growth rate faster than 61% of the 289 Indiana districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 1,219 to 1,102 students (9.6% 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.
