$121,752,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $6,236 per student
Issaquah School District 411 booked $121,752,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 1,028 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 $118,478 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 98 in 100 Washington districts with a figure (state median $84,529, 290 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 Washington teacher salary at $81,586 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
