Average teacher compensation clocks in at $75,245 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means VALLEY DISTRICT-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
