This school district is located in Winnebago County. A majority, the residents of this county are strong Trump supporters, and spent 2010-2018 Standing With Walker  to denigrate public school teachers at every opportunity. 

Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from county residents who are strong MAGA supporters.  Woe to anyone living in this county, especially a public school teacher, that doesn't openly support Trump or who dares to openly support Biden or any Democratic candidate. 

Considering the relatively high cost of living in this largely urban county, average teacher pay and benefits are pretty low. Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $55,596 to $59,452. 

The Menasha school district average teacher salary was mid-range at $57,413.  The increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was only 4.3%, which was far below the rate of inflation. 

The Menasha Superintendent did OK with a salary increase of 24.3%, which was over FIVE TIMES the increase in average teacher salaries and about equal to the inflation rate.

We find it a "no-brainer" that there are always job postings on WECAN for teaching jobs in the Menasha school district. Low salaries that go nowhere literally guarantee a high teacher turnover rate. Why struggle to barely survive teaching in the Menasha school district when so many better jobs are begging for applicants?

For all of the reasons above, we rate the career potential for teachers in this district to be a DEAD END job.
