What stands out about Shorewood School District

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +0.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Wisconsin's statewide +14.3% by 13.6 points, a growth rate faster than 5% of the 410 Wisconsin districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 2,036 to 1,933 students (5.1% 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.
