$686,289,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $3,056 per student

Hillsborough County Public Schools booked $686,289,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 12,406 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 $55,319 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 32 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 Hillsborough County Public Schools

  2. How much does Hillsborough County Public Schools spend per student?
    $10,589 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 $11,431 per student, up 8.0% on the year before (U.S. $17,619 that year).
  3. Where does Hillsborough County Public Schools' money come from?
    $3,089,516,000 in revenue in fiscal year 2022-23: 39.9% state, 42.1% local and 17.9% federal (NCES F-33).
  4. How many children in Hillsborough County Public Schools live in poverty?
    The Census Bureau estimates that 32,738 of the 247,570 children aged 5 to 17 living within the district's boundaries in 2024, 13.2%, 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 Hillsborough County Public Schools spend on teacher salaries?
    $686,289,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), or $3,056 per student. Divided by the 12,406 full-time teachers in the NCES Common Core of Data for 2022-23 that is $55,319 per teacher, more than 32 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).

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 Hillsborough County Public Schools?
    86% of the 15,932 students in Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough County Public Schools' NCES district ID?
    1200870. Each of its schools' 12-digit NCES IDs begins with these seven digits.
