$192,421,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $3,203 per student

Aldine ISD booked $192,421,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 3,510 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 $54,820 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 73 in 100 Texas districts with a figure (state median $50,660, 1,054 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 Texas teacher salary at $58,887 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).

  2. How much does Aldine ISD spend per student?
    $13,268 per student on current operations in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), which leaves out construction and debt; the Texas median for districts with at least 1,000 students in fall 2022 is $12,244 and the U.S. figure is $16,260. Census Bureau figures for 2023-24 put it at $14,243 per student, up 7.3% on the year before (U.S. $17,619 that year).
  3. Where does Aldine ISD's money come from?
    $1,035,978,000 in revenue in fiscal year 2022-23: 36.5% state, 33.9% local and 29.6% federal (NCES F-33).
  4. How many children in Aldine ISD live in poverty?

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 Aldine ISD spend on teacher salaries?
    $192,421,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), or $3,203 per student.

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 Texas teacher salary at $58,887 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
