What stands out about Sublette

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +10.1% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing Kansas's statewide +15.7% by 5.5 points, a growth rate faster than 29% of the 279 Kansas districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment fell from 421 to 391 students (7.1% 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.
  • It is a very small district (391 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
