What stands out about Seymour Community Schools
- Estimated teacher pay here moved +9.2% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Indiana's statewide +13.9% by 4.7 points, a growth rate faster than 26% of the 289 Indiana districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
- Enrolment grew 10.0% here, from 4,859 students in FY2019 to 5,343 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.

Prices in Indiana run below the national average, so this salary has roughly the buying power of the national-price equivalent above. A district in a costlier state can advertise a larger nominal salary and still leave a teacher with less.
