$24,719,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $3,876 per student

Raymore-Peculiar R-II booked $24,719,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 437 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 $56,568 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 81 in 100 Missouri districts with a figure (state median $50,410, 484 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 Missouri teacher salary at $52,481 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
