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 Oshkosh school district average teacher salary was 2nd highest at $58,609. The increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was only 12.9%, which was about half the rate of inflation.
The Oshkosh Superintendent did really well with a salary increase of 40.5%, which was over THREE TIMES the increase in average teacher salaries.
For all of the reasons above, we rate the career potential for teachers in this district to be a DEAD END job.
Planning on Returning to Teach in this District Next Year?
