$402,439,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $5,296 per student
Baltimore City Public Schools booked $402,439,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 5,008 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 $80,352 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 18 in 100 Maryland districts with a figure (state median $84,230, 23 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 Maryland teacher salary at $75,766 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).

$402,439,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), or $5,296 per student.

For pay, the National Education Association put the average Maryland teacher salary at $75,766 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).How do students in Baltimore City Public Schools do on state tests?
