We rate this district as a DEAD END job for several reasons.  Since 2011, the average teacher salary has increased by 16% which is about half the inflation rate of 36.4%.  At the same time, the School Board has increased the Superintendent salary by 27%. 

 Likely there is a significant teacher turnover rate in this district, which depresses the average teacher salary.   

 This district is located in an Ultra MAGA Trump voting county where all residents are expected to be 100% supportive of everything President Trump does. Dissent is not tolerated in ultra-MAGA Wisconsin counties.
