Walworth County is filled with MAGA Trump supporters who were Standing With Walker  to trash teachers and public education from 2011 to 2018. This county has a few larger districts with good pay with the remainder of school districts being small school districts that often pay so little that many teachers qualify for state and federal anti-poverty programs.

Average teacher salaries in this county range from $48,150 to $67,095.   

The Lake Geneva-Genoa City school district has one of the highest average teacher salaries in Walworth County at $66,917. Since 2011, the average teacher salary increased by 26%, which was equal to the inflation rate. Superintendent pay increased by nearly the same percentage, 28.9%.

This district is one of the four Walworth County school districts that earn our ranking of Likely a Good Place to Work for having a solid average teacher salary AND increasing it at above the inflation rate since 2011.  

For a teacher who eschews the far better teaching/career prospects of teaching 25 miles south in a properly funded Illinois school district, and who wants to teach in Wisconsin, accepting a teaching position in the Lake Geneva-Genoa City school district would be a good alternative.
