$215,640,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $4,408 per student

Plano ISD booked $215,640,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 3,538 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 $60,946 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 92 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).

Graduation rate, class of 2023

94% of the 3,956 students in Plano ISD's class of 2023 graduated within four years, against 90.3% across Texas.

Every state computes it the same way under federal law, though each sets its own diploma requirements.

Questions about Plano ISD

  2. How much does Plano ISD spend per student?
    $11,384 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 $12,149 per student, up 6.7% on the year before (U.S. $17,619 that year).
  3. Where does Plano ISD's money come from?
    $758,098,000 in revenue in fiscal year 2022-23: 7.7% state, 84.4% local and 7.9% federal (NCES F-33).
  4. How many children in Plano ISD live in poverty?
    The Census Bureau estimates that 4,316 of the 63,974 children aged 5 to 17 living within the district's boundaries in 2024, 6.7%, 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 Plano ISD spend on teacher salaries?
    $215,640,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), or $4,408 per student. Divided by the 3,538 full-time teachers in the NCES Common Core of Data for 2022-23 that is $60,946 per teacher, more than 92 in 100 Texas districts (state median $50,660). 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).

Texas'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 Plano ISD?
    94% of the 3,956 students in Plano ISD's class of 2023 graduated within four years, against 90.3% across Texas. 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.
