Door County is not only one of Wisconsin's top tourism destinations, it also has 2 really good school districts to teach in. This county is one of Wisconsin's purple counties with about an equal mix of Democrats and Republican. Of course, all of it's representatives are Republicans, owing to the severe gerrymandering legislative districts by the Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin.
Average teacher pay in Door County varies widely, from a low of $44,665 in the Washington school district to $66,618 in the Gibralter school district.
The average teacher salary in the Sturgeon Bay school district was in the middle with a value of $54,720, nearly $12,000 lower than top rated Gibralter. The increase in average teacher salraries was only 5%, which was far behind the inflation rate.
The Sturgeon Bay school district was able to find the money to increase the Superintendent pay by 27.7% or roughly the inflation rate.
For these reasons, we rate the career employment potential for this district to be a Dead End job.
