$722,382,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $2,836 per student

Broward County Public Schools booked $722,382,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 12,533 full-time teachers in its Common Core of Data district staff file for 2022-23 (the school files behind the staffing figures on this page count teachers separately, so the two can differ), or $57,639 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 48 in 100 Florida districts with a figure (state median $58,157, 66 districts). It is spending, not what a teacher is paid: the salary lines and the teacher count come from different files, so the result can differ widely from the average salary the district publishes (its salary schedule gives pay); benefits are left out, and states book salaries differently, so compare districts within one state. For pay, the National Education Association put the average Florida teacher salary at $51,230 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).

Questions about Broward County Public Schools

    323 schools were open in 2024-25 (194 elementary, 48 middle, 61 high, 20 other), enrolling 243,463 students, according to the NCES Common Core of Data.
  2. How much does Broward County Public Schools spend per student?
    $12,121 per student on current operations in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), which leaves out construction and debt; the Florida median for districts with at least 1,000 students in fall 2022 is $11,744 and the U.S. figure is $16,260. Census Bureau figures for 2023-24 put it at $13,412 per student, up 10.7% on the year before (U.S. $17,619 that year).
  3. Where does Broward County Public Schools' money come from?
    $3,491,043,000 in revenue in fiscal year 2022-23: 31.9% state, 51.3% local and 16.8% federal (NCES F-33).
  4. How many children in Broward County Public Schools live in poverty?
    The Census Bureau estimates that 40,903 of the 307,085 children aged 5 to 17 living within the district's boundaries in 2024, 13.3%, were in families in poverty (Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates). It is a model-based estimate for everyone living in the district, not a count of its students; the free-meal shares in the school tables are counts of enrolled students.
  5. How much does Broward County Public Schools spend on teacher salaries?
    $722,382,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), or $2,836 per student. Divided by the 12,533 full-time teachers in the NCES Common Core of Data for 2022-23 that is $57,639 per teacher, more than 48 in 100 Florida districts (state median $58,157). That is spending, not what a teacher is paid: the salary lines and the teacher count come from different files, and the result can differ widely from the average salary a district publishes. The district's salary schedule gives pay. For pay, the National Education Association put the average Florida teacher salary at $51,230 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
  6. How do students in Broward County Public Schools do on state tests?
    In 2021-22, the students tested in Broward County Public Schools scored proficient or above: 54% in reading and 54% in math, against 53% in reading and 55% in math across Florida. Florida's own test sets what proficient means, so results compare within the state, not across states. Source: U.S. Department of Education, EDFacts state assessment results, 2021-22.
  7. What is the graduation rate in Broward County Public Schools?
    89% of the 18,908 students in Broward County Public Schools' class of 2023 graduated within four years, against 88% across Florida. The four-year rate follows the students who started ninth grade in fall 2019, adjusted for those who moved in or out. Source: U.S. Department of Education, EDFacts four-year adjusted-cohort graduation rates, 2022-23.
  8. What is Broward County Public Schools' NCES district ID?
    1200180. Each of its schools' 12-digit NCES IDs begins with these seven digits.
