What stands out about Viborg-Hurley School District 60-6

  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +3.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing South Dakota's statewide +10.1% by 6.4 points, a growth rate faster than 30% of the 146 South Dakota districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 14.2% here, from 366 students in FY2019 to 418 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.
  • It is a very small district (418 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
