This school district is located in Outagamie County. The majority of residents in this county are  Trump supporters, and spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker supporting his efforts to screw teachers out of 50 years of improvements to salaries and benefits.

Even though Scott Walker is no longer Wisconsin's governor, residents of this county are solid MAGA Trump supporters with minimal support or appreciation for the contributions of strong public schools to the overall success of communities and businesses in their county. 

Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $53,778 to $63,102.

The Kimberly school district average teacher salary was mid-range in Outagamie County at $59.357. 

The increase in average teacher salary since 2011  was 20.4%, which was just below the rate of inflation.

This district increased Superintendent pay by 41.3% during the same period, placing a priority on keeping the Superintendent really happy. We think that the Kimberly school board could have done better on increasing the average teacher salaries a little more, especially in light of the 41% Superintendent pay increase.

We are torn between the mid-range average teacher salary and the just below inflation rate increase in average teacher salary as far as how to rate the career potential for teachers in this district. We will give this district the benefit of the doubt and rate it as Might Be a Good Place to Teach.
