What stands out about Walthill Public Schools

  • Enrolment fell from 367 to 281 students (23.4% 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 (281 students), where the enrollment-based salary estimate is more sensitive to staffing mix.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $28,075 is among the highest in the nation.
