This school district is located in Dane County, which historically has voted around 80% for Democrats and is the fastest growing county in Wisconsin. Buoyed by the city of Madison and the University of Wisconsin, Dane County is one of the most desirable counties in Wisconsin to live in.
Teachers in Dane County school districts earn some of the highest salaries in Wisconsin. The average teacher salaries for Dane County school districts range from $52, 546 to $65, 472 as of the 2022-23 school year. Like every Wisconsin county, some school districts are really great places to work while the school boards in other districts have used Act 10 to make their districts really lousy places to teach.
Teachers in the Oregon school district have an average salary of $60,447. More significantly, the average teacher salaries increased by 23.8% which is nearly equal to the inflation rate. During this same period, the Superintendent pay only increased by 9.0%, which we interpret as the school board doing everything possible to allocate scarce salary increase monies towards teachers, rather than administration.
For these reasons, we rated the career employment potential as Might Be a Good District to teach in.
