$362,417,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $2,817 per student

Duval County Public Schools booked $362,417,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 7,048 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 $51,421 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 20 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).

  4. How many children in Duval County Public Schools live in poverty?
    The Census Bureau estimates that 22,181 of the 168,793 children aged 5 to 17 living within the district's boundaries in 2024, 13.1%, 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 Duval County Public Schools spend on teacher salaries?
    $362,417,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), or $2,817 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 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.

Source: U.S. Department of Education, EDFacts four-year adjusted-cohort graduation rates, 2022-23.
