This school district is located in Iron County, which in one of the most rabid Trump supporting Wisconsin counties. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from the mostly MAGA county residents. 

 The Hurley school district had the highest average teacher salary in Iron County at $61,441. 

The increase in average teacher salary for the Hurley school district was 22.8% since 2011. 

The Hurley school board did increase the Superintendent pay by 32%. 

It has been our experience that districts where teachers and the Superintendent are equally valued in terms of pay increases are pretty good places to live and teach.

We rate career employment potential for teachers as a Might be a good place to Teach.
